Officer Gomez and myself to go behind the curtain of TikTok: - TikTok Challenges - Feet Picture Grooming method - Filters - Does parent monitoring work - Best Practices

I’m trying to watch “3rd-5th Grade: Red Flag Safety System” but it won’t play. The other videos start up no problem.

Instagram isn't just photo sharing anymore. Over the past few months, Instagram has systematically copied every dangerous feature from Snapchat—and added some terrifying new ones of their own. The result? Officer Gomez just moved Instagram to the #2 most dangerous app for kids. Right behind Snapchat. Here's what most parents don't know: Your kid's Instagram account might look clean to you—but that's because you're only seeing one of their five accounts. Instagram lets kids have 5 separate accounts without logging out. One tap in the upper left corner, and they can switch from their "main" account (butterflies and rainbows for parents) to their "spam" accounts where the real activity happens. But that's just the beginning. Instagram's new Live Mapping feature shows your child's exact location 24/7—accurate to within 10 feet. Even when they're not using their phone. Think about that for a second. A predator can now know: - Where your child lives and sleeps - Their school schedule - What sports they play and when - Where they work - What bathroom they use Real example: Officer Gomez arrested a sex predator at a middle school volleyball game because he was using location tracking to follow a girl he'd been targeting. And the sextortion crisis is exploding. Reports jumped from 40,000 in 2021 to 500,000 last year. We're on pace for 1 million this year. Instagram plays a key role because predators use it to scout victims' friend lists, then threaten to share inappropriate images with everyone the child knows. The pressure is so intense that kids across America are taking their own lives rather than face the shame. Here's the truth most parents miss: Your child WILL be targeted. The question isn't if—it's when, and whether they'll have the skills to handle it safely. That's why we created the new Instagram Parent Safety Guide. Based on my latest interview with Officer Gomez, this guide reveals: ✓ The 5 hidden accounts your child probably has (and how to find them)

Officer Gomez and myself talk Snapchat: ✅ How it's perfect for predators tactics ✅ Where the pictures are hidden ✅ How find where they sell drugs on the platform ✅ How AI is changing sex exploitation forever... ...and not in a good way.

Most parents think they’ve got their kid’s phone locked down. But even with filters and screen-time limits, there’s still one powerful tool you might be overlooking — battery usage stats. Why? Because battery usage doesn’t lie. It tells you what apps are draining your child’s phone, how long they’re on them, and sometimes even which apps they’re hiding. If your child’s “school-only phone” somehow shows TikTok using 40% of the battery... well, there’s your clue. 🔍 What You Can Learn From Battery Usage: - Which apps your child uses the most - If apps are being hidden or renamed (some show under unfamiliar names) - What time of day phone use spikes - If a supposed “emergency-only” phone is really being used for entertainment - How quickly they’re draining the battery and likely recharging multiple times a day 🍎 How to Check Battery Usage on iPhone (Apple): 1. Go to Settings 2. Scroll down and tap Battery 3. You’ll see a graph and battery usage by app 4. Tap Last 24 Hours or Last 10 Days to see patterns 5. Tap the clock icon to show screen time per app 🤖 How to Check Battery Usage on Android: 1. Go to Settings 2. Tap Battery or Battery and Device Care (varies by brand) 3. Tap Battery Usage 4. View usage by app (some show percentages, others show screen time) 5. Tap each app to view detailed activity 👀 Bonus Tip: If battery usage doesn’t seem to match up with screen time or daily habits, it may be a sign of: - Secret apps or hidden browsers - Deleted and re-downloaded apps (to avoid detection) - Background app activity like VPNs or private servers 🧠 Final Thought: Battery stats are like fingerprints—they leave a trail. And when kids are clever, it takes clever parents to stay one step ahead. Use the data. Start a conversation. Guide with love and boundaries. 💪📵 Happy Parenting, Officer Gomez #ParentTips #DigitalSafety #BatteryCheck #ProtectChildhood #OfficerGomezSays
