Does anyone remember the lee and kim internet safety psa/pif
It was made by CEOP and thinkuknow in the UK, the game/mmo they were playing was animal magic, a rip off of animal jam
They had a superhero named SID, he's not pictured in this post
I used to have an obsession with them crossing over with the fuckin' alphablocks as a disney movie back in 2016 (i grew out of that thank god, but… memories)
That tiger boy was an asshole, and that bear dude should be in prison, lee is a saint
It can take seconds for things to get risky for your child online. For helpful advice visit thinkuknow.co.uk/parents
Join us on our ClickCEOP Facebook page for a live webchat on Monday 19th Sept at 7.30pm to ask our Education team questions and to discuss our safety tips in more detail - www.facebook.com/clickceop
We know how important it is for parents and carers to feel confident when talking to their child about ‘trickier’ topics. Research tells us that having a supportive parent, who children feel they can talk to whatever their worry, makes all the difference to helping young people to stay safe. That’s why we recently launched our campaign to highlight the advice available to parents from www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents
As a parent, talking to your child about sex, relationships and the internet can be daunting, but you’re not alone. We want to encourage parents to share their tips for talking to their child about these issues and keeping them safe online, so we can all learn from each other and feel more confident. To start things off, Helen, one of many parents within the NCA, shares her experience and advice, which you can watch in the video above.
Be as creative as you like when sharing your tip – create a short vlog, write or blog, use pictures or even a simple tweet – just be sure to tag your tip #Thinkuknow when you share it on social media. We may even share your tip on @CEOPUK
Johnny Gwynne, Director of the NCA’s CEOP Command writes about the Thinkuknow campaign to parents.
Before I start this blog I have a confession to make. When I came to CEOP Command as both a parent and having served as a police officer for many years, I assumed that I had a reasonable knowledge about crime and the internet worldwide web phenomenon.
When I arrived, it didn’t take me long to realise how much I still had to learn.
I learned it’s a mistake to think of the internet as a thing – the way I used to. It is actually a very real place where we, and our children, go to have fun and be entertained
You won’t need me to remind you that, like any physical environment, it has its dangers. And we need to know how to warn our children of the risky digital street corners.
Why Thinkuknow is important
Our new Thinkuknow campaign will help with this. We want parents – which could be you or your sibling or cousin – to talk to your children about sex and relationships and how to keep safe online.
The question is would you know how to spot the signs, for example, that a child is being subjected to online sexual abuse – or would you know how to get through to a child when they are spending their time on the internet oblivious to the risks they face.
Thinkuknow is a really useful bank of advice and guidance for parents, grandparents, carers and families and it helps them to have that conversation. And if they’re worried that their children are at risk from online grooming they can report abuse direct to CEOP online.
About the campaign
Here’s where you can help.
You could tell other parents about Thinkuknow, or share our messages on your social media. And you can also sign up to a Thunderclap message http://ow.ly/frMd301QGeI
By my reckoning, if each of us tells 10 other adults and they tell 10 others then using this approach alone we could reach almost half a million people. If we manage to influence 20 people, and they each mention it to 20 others – not unthinkable at the school gates, family gathering, community group or place of worship – then we aren’t far off collectively reaching two million people.
And you’ll be supporting the messages being given daily to children by our network of over 100,000 professionals of which over 6,000 are CEOP Ambassadors in schools and communities.
The world changes, children don’t. Parents need to talk to their children about sex, relationships and the internet. Thinkuknow can help them.
