DHS, in partnership with the National Football League (NFL) and NASCAR, announced its latest Public Service Announcement (PSA) to increase public awareness of online child sexual exploitation and abuse. "Online child exploitation and abuse is one of the most heinous and urgent threats to our children." - U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Read more on our partnership with the National Football League (NFL) and NASCAR to educate kids and parents about the dangers of online predators.

“It Only Takes 19 Seconds." The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, National Football League (NFL) and NASCAR are sending a message to parents in a public service announcement about online predators. “Online child exploitation and abuse is one of the most heinous and urgent threats to our children,” Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement shared with USA TODAY and announced later Wednesday. We live in an age where our kids have instant access to communication with others, to gaming with their friends and to promoting their sports progress through social media. It’s those moments when children and teens can quickly fall prey to online exploitation, according to the PSA. “Online conversations can turn dangerous in the blink of an eye, and this latest PSA stresses the importance of preparing our kids to protect themselves,” National Football League (NFL) Chief Security Officer Cathy Lanier said in the statement.
