Sleepovers can be fun, but a few simple conversations before and after can help kids feel more comfortable speaking up.

Before they go, ask about the plan. Make sure they know they can call you, come home, or leave a situation that feels wrong.

Afterward, keep it casual. Ask about what they did, who they spent time with, what games they played, and whether there was anything they didnโ€™t like.

You donโ€™t have to ask everything at once. The goal is simply to make it easy for your child to talk to you. ๐Ÿ’›

Safe adults donโ€™t ask children to keep secrets from caregivers or create private relationships with them. They respect boundaries around touch, privacy, and personal space. And they donโ€™t make children responsible for managing an adultโ€™s emotions.

Healthy boundaries help create safer relationships and safer spaces for kids. ๐Ÿ’™

โ€œStranger dangerโ€ is only one piece of the safety conversation.

Children should also learn that unsafe behavior can come from someone they know, like, or trust. Teaching body safety, boundaries, and how to recognize when something feels wrong can help give kids the words and confidence to speak up.

Safety isnโ€™t just about who someone is. Itโ€™s about how they behave. ๐Ÿ’™

Kids notice how we respond when they talk to us.

Listen. Stay calm. Let them know they did the right thing by telling you. ๐Ÿ’™

How we respond matters.

Skip โ€œHow was school?โ€ and try these instead. ๐Ÿ’™

A small change in the question can give kids a lot more room to talk.

AI is now a part of many kidsโ€™ lives. It can be helpful, but it can also be used to make fake pictures, videos, or messages that hurt other people.

As kids head back to school, talk with them about what they see and share online. Remind them that not everything online is real and that they should tell a trusted adult if something makes them scared or uncomfortable.

Today, on Adam Walsh Remembrance Day, we remember six-year-old Adam Walsh and the legacy his parents created after his death.

John and Revรฉ Walshโ€™s advocacy inspired the creation of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. NCMEC now helps find missing children, supports their families, assists law enforcement, fights child trafficking and online exploitation, and provides programs like the CyberTipline and Take It Down.

Just last year, 90% of children reported missing to NCMEC were recovered.

Today, we remember Adam and the many children who have been helped because of the work done in his name. ๐Ÿ’™

Today is National Missing Children's Day.

We remember the children who are still missing, the families waiting for answers, and the professionals and community members working tirelessly to bring children home safely.

Every child deserves to be protected, heard, and found.

Awareness matters. Prevention matters. Community matters.

๐Ÿ’™ Keep current photos and identifying information for your children
๐Ÿ’™ Talk openly about online and personal safety
๐Ÿ’™ Trust your instincts and report concerning behavior

Behind every missing child alert is a family hoping for one more phone call, one more lead, one more chance.
