Secret filming of children on beaches is not a myth or sensationalism, but a terrifying reality increasingly affecting families across the region. While parents enjoy summer days and create beautiful memories, predators lurk in the shadows, using careless photos and videos as material for abuse and exploitation of children. The Center for Missing and Abused Children has launched an urgent campaign under the slogan “Dress them in swimsuits” — a simple but crucial piece of advice that can significantly reduce the risk of abuse.
On beaches, pools, and swimming areas where children are most vulnerable, parents must be proactive and aware of lurking dangers. Statistics are alarming: the number of reported cases of sexual abuse and exploitation of children is rising, and secret filming is often the first step in this dark chain.
Just imagine — one careless photo can lead to serious consequences, and children, naive and unaware, cannot recognize the danger themselves. It is up to parents to be vigilant and protect their children from these threats.
This campaign is not just a warning but a call to action: dress your children in swimsuits, don’t let their innocence become bait for abusers. Protecting children starts with small but important habits.
Parents, if you thought secret filming on beaches was a myth or sensationalism, it’s time to wake up! This is a reality that can affect any of us. Be smart, be cautious, and don’t let your children become victims. And if you have a story or advice, feel free to share — maybe your word will save someone’s day or life.
