Pledge2Protect is Know2Protect’s call-to-action to protect kids and teens from online child sexual exploitation, access resources and share the pledge with others.
Take the Pledge. Pass the Pledge.
No Time to Waste
Protecting kids online is a shared responsibility. Hear from former NFL player and child safety advocate, Tim Tebow, on why every community member plays a role.
Show Your Commitment in Style
Let everyone know you've taken the Pledge2Protect by using the Facebook Profile Pic Frame or rock your Pledge2Protect shirt on your Snapchat Bitmoji by scanning the Snapcode. Find out how in the Pledge2Protect Social Media Toolkit.
Help Identify a Clue. Help Protect a Child.
Identify2Protect invites the public to review carefully sanitized, non-explicit images connected to child exploitation investigations. A familiar object, location, logo or other small detail could help investigators identify a victim and move a case forward.
Help Keep Platforms Accountable
Only platforms can take down intimate images shared without your consent. Tell the FTC about platforms that don’t comply with the Take It Down Act.
Not Everyone Online Is Who They Say They Are
Watch how a convicted online predator used multiple fake profiles online to exploit and manipulate kids and teens.
