Assam Police is warning parents that revealing too much information about their children in social media posts could put them at risk for predators and scammers. On Saturday, Assam police used a series of AI-generated images to caution parents against sharing pictures and videos of their children on social media.
Along with the series of pictures, Assam Police wrote, "Likes fade, but the digital scars remain. Shield your child from the perils of Sharenting. Be mindful of what you share about your child on Social Media. #DontBeASharent."

"I don't remember the last time I was this impressed by a police account's campaign. Absolutely brilliant concept and execution - on a topic that deserves attention. Beautiful work, @assampolice & team! I hope this campaign gets the awards and coverage it rightfully deserves," the third user commented.
