Drug dealers use social media platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram to target children. They disguise drug sales with emojis and coded language, making it difficult for parents to detect. This guide outlines five key ways to protect children: setting online privacy rules, recognizing drug-related emojis, understanding the dark web, being aware of overdose risks, and spotting early warning signs of drug use.

By staying involved in their child’s digital life and monitoring online activity, parents can help prevent exposure to illicit drugs and online dealers.
