⚠️ This session contains frank discussion of online child exploitation for educational purposes. Content is handled with care and respect.

You cannot protect your child from dangers you don't fully understand. This workshop is your complete briefing — on AI-generated imagery, data harvesting, social media risks, and exactly how predators, algorithms, and bad actors use your children's photos and data.

What You'll Learn
  • Understand exactly how publicly shared children's photos can be weaponized
  • Know what AI image generation tools can do with a single photograph
  • Set up practical privacy controls across every major platform your child uses
  • Create a Family Digital Safety Agreement your children will actually follow
  • Recognize the warning signs of online predatory contact and data harvesting
  • Configure AI tools and prompt interfaces with child-safe guardrails
  • Build a communication framework so your child comes to you — not away from you
  • Prepare yourself to lead Session 6.2 with your child as a confident guide

About This Workshop

This session is for parents only — and it's designed to be uncomfortable in the right ways.

We start with the reality: a single photo of your child posted publicly can be scraped, stored, and fed into AI image generation tools to produce imagery you never consented to and cannot take back. This is not hypothetical. It is happening at scale right now, and most parents have no idea.

We'll walk you through exactly how these systems work — not to terrify you, but to ensure you have the complete picture. You'll understand deepfake generation, data brokers, platform data retention, location metadata embedded in photos, and how seemingly innocent posts create detailed profiles of your children that advertisers, algorithms, and predators can access.

Then we shift to action. You'll leave with a concrete toolkit: privacy settings configured, a Family Digital Safety Agreement drafted, a prompt safety checklist for AI tools, and — critically — a communication strategy for Session 6.2, where you'll bring your child in.

The goal of this session is not to make you fearful. It's to make you prepared.
