 Private Client  New Jersey


" I needed a Private Investigator to help find my sister who had gone missing. Kim was recommended to be by the Human Resource Manager of a major real estate developer in Florida. Within a week, Kim had located my sister, and then served as a communications link between us. Kim handled every aspect of the assignment in extraordinary fashion ."  

Private Client West Palm Beach, FL


" We have used and referred Kim Hale Private Investigations for many years. They provide professional services and they are easy to work with.  They are highly recommended for background checks or other private investigation ."

Probate Attorney Barry Siegel,  Boca Raton FL


" Kim was great to work with. She is smart and strategic in her approach to solving cases. Kim has the utmost integrity; she used a contract so I knew what to expect in terms of cost, approach, and deliverables. She was clearly not looking to take advantage of me financially; she actually advised against a more expensive approach because she didn't think it would produce the evidence I was looking for. Last of all, she was available - she answered the phone personally every time I called. She stayed in constant communication via text and email. 


I knew she was working on the case and was informed all the way though. I have very high standards and I recommend her to anyone looking for investigative services ."

Defense Attorney Lisa Houle, Managing Attorney House Law APC

SCAMS OF 2025 REACHING EPIDEMIC PROPORTION



HOW CHILD PREDATORS DISGUISE THEMSELVES ONLINE


PREVENTION IS KEY IN PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM ONLINE PREDATORS


The internet is part of everyday life for kids—it’s where they learn, socialize, and explore. But just as in the real world, not everyone online has good intentions. Predators use deception and manipulation to target children, often hiding behind fake identities to build trust before making harmful requests.


According to Jay Houston, Director of Training at Child Rescue Coalition, “Predators are experts at deception. They know exactly how to manipulate kids into trusting them, and that’s why ongoing conversations between parents and children are critical. 


The more informed kids are, the less likely they are to fall victim to these tactics.”

Jay emphasizes that communication is the most powerful tool parents have in protecting their children online. By staying involved and setting clear boundaries, families can create a safer digital environment.



The Ways Online Predators Operate 

Fake Identities – Predators hide behind fake names, photos, and ages, often stealing pictures from other accounts to appear more believable. They may pretend to be a peer, influencer, or mentor to gain trust. 


Building Trust – Compliments, constant attention, and emotional validation are common tactics. Predators make kids feel special, creating a bond before making inappropriate requests. They may also convey a sense of urgency, pressuring kids to share personal information or share photos and videos quickly, before they have time to think it through or change their mind. 


Gathering Personal Information – They ask seemingly harmless questions about hobbies, school, and location to piece together details about a child’s life. 


Requesting Explicit Content – Many predators ultimately pressure kids into sending photos or videos, often using manipulation or threats to keep them silent. 


WHAT PARENTS CAN DO TO PROTECT YOUR KIDS


The #1 Rule: TALK TO YOUR KIDS.
Having open, judgment-free conversations is the best defense against online exploitation. Talk about sextortion, online dangers, and let kids know
they can always come to you—without fear of getting in trouble. 


SET ACCOUNTS TO PRIVATE

Ensure your child’s social media and gaming profiles are private, not public. This prevents strangers from accessing their information. 

Pause Before Posting

Teach kids to think before they share—no personal details like full names, schools, or locations should be made public. 


The Golden Rule: NEVER SEND A NUDE

No one should ever ask for or expect this. Make sure your child knows:
If someone pressures you, tell a trusted adult immediately. We will NOT be mad at you. We are here to help

Believe & Support Your Kids 


Online predators rely on secrecy. The best way to keep kids safe is by being a trusted, open resource for them. Let them know they are never alone, and their safety comes first—always. 

Have the conversation, set boundaries, and build trust. Together, we can protect kids online.

ROMANCE SCAMS 

Do you suspect you may be involved in a romance scam?  Recently widowed men and women are often lonely and vulnerable making , them prime targets of online romance scammers.  The  catfish is someone who sets up a fake online profile to trick people who are looking for love, usually to get money out of you. 


RED FLAGS: 

They can never meet you in person and are always cancelling scheduled meetings. 

ARE REACHING EPIDEMIC  PROPORTIONS


They claim they are over seas in the military or involved in some type of construction project ect and they are always running into financial problems and requesting emergency financial assistance from you. 


Right from the beginning they have started falling madly in love with you. 


The cat fish starts requesting that you send money to a third party other than themselves. 

This person is often a "mule" and a victim of the catfish too. 


The catfish may send you verification of their funds in the bank which is a forgery and just a template taken off the internet. The may also send a copy of a phoney license , passport or fake documentation explaining why the catfish so urgently needs you to send money. 


For example a fraudulent letter from an attorney stating they are being evicted or held up in customs ect. 


Victims have lost entire life savings to these scammers and have wound up homeless or living in their cars !


If you suspect you are being "Catfished" please contact Kim Hale Private Investigations before it is too late. Victims have lost entire life savings and homes and vehicles to the Catfish. The catfish is part of a criminal ring with many players involved. Kim Hale private Investigations can determine whether or not you are being "CatFished".
