Overview

• On September 1, the SSC’s Cyber Police issued a public advisory urging mothers, fathers and guardians to avoid posting children’s images or personal data during the back-to-school period.
• Authorities caution that photos showing uniforms or school names can reveal locations and routines, heightening risks such as extortion, harassment or trafficking.
• Recommended steps include setting time limits on devices, teaching children not to share personal details, supervising apps, enabling parental controls, reviewing privacy policies and promoting incident reporting.
• The Unidad de Policía Cibernética operates 24/7 and accepts reports via 55 5242 5100 ext. 5086, [email protected], and the official accounts @SSC_CDMX and @UCS_GCDMX.
• Officials frame the move as a prevention campaign tied to the classroom return, with round-the-clock online monitoring reinforced and no new legal measures announced.
