Country star John Rich partners with DHS to protect children from online predators

Published



Country musician John Rich partnered with the Department of Homeland Security for a livestream on internet safety for parents, specifically how they can protect their children amid the “wild west” of the internet.

The livestream, which aired on Rich’s X account, featured DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who discussed how the internet has “opened new doors” for online predators targeting children. This prompted DHS to launch the “Know2Protect” campaign to inform parents about precautions they can take to protect their children. Following Wednesday night’s livestream, Rich noted the 36 million reports of children being targeted online in one year, adding that internet predators have become “really slick” with their actions.
