Children of the Street Society: #predatorwatch

Many teens knowingly set their profiles to "public" and add questionable hashtags to their photos, in order to gain as many "likes" and followers as possible. These circumstances have made Instagram prime ground for online predators to search for, interact with, and exploit youth. To intercept predators we seeded numerous teen photos onto Instagram using hashtags that predators search for. Those who tried to connect with our profiles encountered a jail cell mosaic made within Instagram's photo grid reminding them that undercover officers are online. Agency: Cossette Vancouver
