SOCIAL MEDIA TREND TO BE AWARE OF...

We would like to make you aware of a concerning trend involving the use of artificial intelligence (AI) among some children in our community. Recently, there have been instances where children have created and shared AI-generated images depicting fictional scenarios - such as a homeless person allegedly entering their home and refusing to leave while their parents are away.

These images have led to an increase in calls to local police, although the incidents are entirely fabricated using AI tools. While these may seem like harmless pranks, they can cause unnecessary alarm and divert emergency services from genuine cases.

To help prevent this from escalating into a wider viral trend, we kindly ask all parents and guardians to be vigilant about their children's online activity. Please ensure that appropriate safety and privacy settings are in place on their devices, and encourage responsible use of technology.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation in keeping our community safe.
