Educational Resources
Whether you are concerned parent, educator in a school system or law enforcement official, we believe that education is essential to combating online child exploitation. The following resources have been developed by ClickSafe Intelligence to help anyone navigate various online platforms, step-by-step guides on what to do in a crisis and how to promote safe habits in digital spaces for children.
Byte-Sized Safety Settings: TikTok
This guide by ClickSafe Intelligence provides step-by-step instructions for parents and guardians to use TikTok’s “Family Pairing” feature to supervise their teen’s account. After linking accounts through the settings menu, parents can manage privacy and safety options, including setting the account to private, adjusting screen time limits, disabling “suggest your account to others,” and reviewing direct messaging permissions. The guide highlights that accounts under 18 are private by default and that direct messaging is restricted to users aged 16 and up. It also advises enabling notifications to alert parents if accounts are unlinked and encourages both parents and teens to understand how to block and report inappropriate content or users.
