"DON'T friend anyone you haven't met in person" is a strong piece of advice from Denise Morcombe to Southern Downs children.

The Morcombes have thrown their support behind Police Minister Jo-ann Miller's warning to parents about online safety following the disturbing case of alleged child exploitation in the Rose City this week.

After sharing the Daily News' front page story on the official Daniel Morcombe Foundation Facebook page yesterday, Denise shared her advice for kids who may be exploring the online world during the school holidays.

"(Bruce and I have been doing school visits for years and identify that online predators are out there, in our lounge rooms and bedrooms," Mrs Morcombe told the Daily News.

"Advice to kids would be don't add friends of friends, don't put your name, address and phone numbers anywhere on the net and don't upload photos with your school's uniform and logo. Don't put on your status where you are going to meet your friends. Ring them up or arrange in person."

Mrs Morcombe also urged kids with a social media profile to set their privacy settings to 'private' and be careful of the privacy settings on any photos they or their friends upload.

"There are people out there who may pretend to be the same age as them online - have the same interests like music, sport, movies and can gain their trust that way," she said.

"The best thing is don't friend anyone unless you personally know them like a friend at school, family or mum and dad."

For parents who believe they are 'technologically- challenged' or didn't think their kids had a Facebook account, the child safety advocate said it's always best to check. "Children know more about computers than most of the parents," Mrs Morcombe said.

The Morcombes are set to bring their safety message to Warwick again on August 25 at St Mary's School.

"The three main messages we have on our school visits are Recognise, React and Report - have at least five adults that you can speak to and keep reporting until someone listens," Mrs Morcombe said.

"The feedback we get is always positive. The children and parents come up to us months or weeks later and say thanks and the children remember the messages."

Mrs Morcombe also urged Rose City parents to come up with a family password that only close family and those approved by parents to pick up the kids will know.

The Morcombes will visit Warwick again to deliver their safety messages to children, teachers and parents.

When: 2pm, August 25

Where: St Mary's School, Warwick
