Social Media Scans for Child Custody Private Investigations

When parents have marital strife and choose to divorce, chaos ensues. The same entropy occurs when parents who never married in the first place begin to bicker and argue about their children’s wellbeing; the situation rapidly deteriorates. It gets even worse when both parents are deceased, seriously ill, willfully absent, or incarcerated, and the grandparents or other guardians are involved and begin infighting. Many of these individuals are involved with the courts, DHS, and hire child custody private investigators and attorneys to assist them.

While civil attorneys in Oklahoma can be great at litigating child custody cases in the USA, the best private investigator for child custody private investigations is the legal professional our clients need to investigate and do the groundwork for your case before it goes to court.

28. The List is Endless!

As one can see, there are many ways that parents and other caretakers abuse their children, and sadly it happens far too often. Clients who hire a child custody private detective from our private investigation agency want help in catching these parents in the act of abusing their children. With documented evidence they can show to a judge and/or jury, it can help our clients keep their parental rights and even gain full custody of their kids. This is especially important, because so many bad parents screw up and ruin children that otherwise would have had the opportunity to lead healthy, positive, productive lives.

Social Media Scans for Child Abuse  Investigations:

A social media scan can be a terrific way to catch parents engaging in deleterious and maladaptive parenting, because sometimes they post proof of their evil deeds online. If they do not, then their kids or someone else their children or parents know might do so. There are so many social media platforms and other Internet sites available on the world wide web these days, and many people now commonly post and share way too much information about themselves online.

Surveillance is another method of detecting child abuse and parental kidnapping, etc. If the parents do harmful stuff in public where the private investigator can see it happen, then our legal team will take pictures and videos of their action. Our firm will then provide those to the client, her/his/their attorney, DHS, and law enforcement personnel, as appropriate.

Unfortunately, many types of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and neglect take place behind closed doors away from public view. When parents, grandparents, and other guardians abuse kids and teens in public, people might complain, and law enforcement might arrest them. Thus, people who do not wish for others to catch them will choose to do it inside a restricted area away from the view of others. This can make successful surveillance more difficult in these types of situations.

Catfishing for Child Abuse Private Investigations:

Catfishing is another investigative technique for child sexual abuse private investigations. When parents, guardians, and/or grandparents start pimping out their kids online or otherwise engage in child pornography or some other type of exploitive child abuse, a child custody private detective may go undercover and attempt to get proof of the abuse. Ascertaining whether the kid is up for “sale” or rent as a sex toy or domestic servant or finding out if the parent, guardian, or grandparent has nude images of the child to share or for purchase can potentially garner crucial evidence that law enforcement personnel, DHS, judges, and juries can use in both criminal prosecutions and civil cases involving child custody. However, a licensed private investigator must be extremely careful when conducting human trafficking private investigations in this manner.

As non-law enforcement personnel, there is a an extremely fine line between investigating in this manner and accidentally crossing the legal line and engaging in criminal child solicitation or solicitation of child pornography. Always check with local law enforcement personnel and the best criminal defense attorneys in your area, prior to engaging in these types of private investigations. No private eye should ever fall on the wrong side of the law, especially not by accident.

1. The Children’s Parents/Grandparents and/or Their Lovers Have Dangerous Criminal Backgrounds That Nationwide Criminal Background Checks Fail to Show – Another big reason why our clients who seek to locate the best private investigator for child abuse private investigations want to hire our organization is to see if the parents, guardians, grandparents, stepparents, or other adults in the lives of the kids and teens have skeletons in their closet. Do they have serious criminal felony convictions? Sex offender registration? Dangerous misdemeanor offenses? Have judges issued victim protection orders (VPOs) against them? Are there civil things like bankruptcies, liens, judgements, or other terrible things hiding in their backgrounds? These are all important things to know and be able to use during child molestation private investigations.

Nationwide civil and criminal background checks are perfect for discovering hidden criminal records buried deep into one’s past, but they sometimes miss things. Social media scans complement civil and criminal reports by pulling up news stories, posts, comments, and other dark things about a person’s past that offenders may have had expunged from their background check reports. People would be surprised at how much information, both good and bad, can be out there about individuals.

Yes, it is true that people can attempt to scrub things off the Internet as well by threatening, suing, bribing, and nicely asking the owners of the websites that contain detrimental information about them, but at least when our clients do both it covers all bases. You do not want to cut corners or shave off costs on matters involving the safety, health, and wellbeing of your children. They are the future of our world, and hopefully you will want to do everything you can to help them.

• Inappropriate/Insensitive Comments Online – Ask any embattled politician, law enforcement officer, educator, or other public official who has ever made a derogatory racial slur, anti-2SLGBTQIA+ comment, or who has even publicly breathed a well-deserved sigh of relief after the passing of world class hater and bigot Charlie Kirk what happened when others discovered their comments. They found themselves facing ridicule, disciplinary action, or may have even lost their jobs because of it. The Internet has successfully led to many a person’s downfall in modern days.

If a parent posts derogatory comments about a child’s race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, nationality, disability, etc., online and the other parent(s) or guardian(s) find(s) out about it and report(s) it to DHS, the judge, etc., it may cause them to lose partial or full custody of their children. Our child abuse private detective notes that legal authorities and the public can determine those such derogatory and offensive statements to be abusive and detrimental to a child’s wellbeing.

• Online Criminal/Illicit Activity – The dark web offers a wide array of illicit activities in which hackers, human traffickers, murderers, producers of child pornography, and others operate. Sadly, many of the people who work within its parameters are unfortunately the parents and guardians of innocent, vulnerable children, and teens. Their behavior is not only illegal, but it is also highly immoral.

Our clients hire us to go undercover by running social media scans, catfishing, criminal background checks, and other tricks of the trade to help uncover illegal activities online. Indeed, sex trafficking and child pornography sites are rife in the online world, and when our PIs catch them in the act it not only helps put them away and saves additional kids from harm but also comes in extremely handy in child custody cases.

Indeed, when a would-be parent or guardian has dangerous crimes, especially if they are felonies or other charges that require sex offender registration, most judges shy away from granting them legal custody of their own children or anyone else’s.

Social media scans are a premier feature of this type of work, combined with surveillance, catfishing, and nationwide criminal background checks.
