The first day of school is approaching quickly and the Ilion Police Department would like to remind parents and caregivers to be cautious of what they post online.

We all love taking photo’s of our children on the first day of school. Maybe it is to document their progress in moving up grade levels in school, or even to brag to your friends and family about how cute they are. With the world we live in today, we should be very cautious about posting the following:

❌Child’s age
❌Child’s grade
❌Child’s last name
❌Teacher’s name
❌School name
❌Photo’s identifying your house, house number, etc…
❌Child’s favorite things
❌School bus number
❌Other identifying information

While this is innocent information for most, the details above could be used by individuals wishing to cause harm against your child or you. Let’s face it, there is a lot of future password reminder information listed as well. Be smart and keep your family safe.

The Ilion Police Department wishes every child a safe and successful school year!
