As summer begins and teens are out of school looking for jobs, I just wanted to share an important reminder for parents and families 💛
Please be extra careful with online job posts, flyers, and “easy money” offers. Sadly, many can turn out to be scams—or worse, unsafe situations involving predators or trafficking.
Take a few minutes to help your teen verify any job opportunity before they respond or meet with anyone:
• Research the company or person offering the job
• Look for reviews or an official website/social media presence
• Be cautious of jobs promising high pay for very little work
• Never send personal information right away
• Avoid meeting alone in unfamiliar places
If possible, keep location sharing on with your teen or make sure someone always knows where they are, who they’re meeting, and when they’ll be back.
A little extra checking can go a long way in keeping our kids safe this summer. Stay aware, ask questions, and trust your instincts. ❤️
