You always want to be careful of who you befriend on the Internet. However, some of the creeps who do exist online are getting sneakier in regards to how they lure children.

Pedophiles online are now using accounts pretending to be food items, like nuggets and ice cream, to lure children. The Irish Sun reports that when these accounts are set up, their creator will only send out friend requests to kids. They will not make any contact outside of that, however. Instead, when children unwittingly accept their friend requests, the accounts gain the ability to view and collect all of their photos for purposes we won’t begin to speculate about.

Sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Musical.ly are all targets for these pedophiles. If you have accounts there, or your kids have accounts there, definitely monitor who you’re adding and who is following you. You never know who is watching them from behind foreign computer screens.
