When a family restructures, the focus is often on the adults: the schedules, the legalities, and the logistics. However, in the digital age, the most critical "gap" created by a split isn't in a calendar. It is in the communication between parents regarding their child’s digital safety.
The reality of the online world is faster and more dangerous than most parents realize. On average, it takes a stranger online less than 17 minutes to convince a child to send a picture or piece of information they can never take back.
Predators do not wait for a child to be alone in a dark alley. They reach out through everyday friend requests, messages, and clicks in gaming apps or social media. The average age of these targets? Just 10 to 13 years old.
