LMIRL
Short for "let's meet in real life."
For parents and educators
Between school friends making plans it means nothing. Between your child and someone they only know online, a push to meet in person is a classic grooming warning sign. Agree as a family that any meetup with an online-only contact happens with you knowing, in a public place.
If you’re worried
If an adult is pushing to meet your child, report it to Cybertip.ca or call your local police. In an emergency, call 911.
Where it came from
Chat-room era code listed in online safety guides for parents.
