Online Safety Reminder from the Mt. Lebanon Police Department
The Mt. Lebanon Police Department has reported an increase in online scams targeting juveniles through social media and gaming platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, Roblox, and Discord. In these scams, offenders pose as peers to gain trust, request inappropriate photos, and then attempt to blackmail victims for money.
This update was shared during one of our regular School Safety Partnership meetings, where the District meets with local emergency service providers to support proactive communication and student safety.
We encourage parents and guardians to speak with their children about online safety and the importance of never sharing personal or sensitive images. For more information or to report suspicious activity, please contact the Mt. Lebanon Police Department.
