Graduation yard signs have surged in popularity as a way to celebrate students completing various educational milestones. However, concerns about safety and privacy have emerged, prompting experts to warn parents about the information displayed on these signs. Features such as names, photos, and school details can unintentionally make children vulnerable to identity theft or malicious targeting. Parents are encouraged to evaluate the risks in their neighborhoods before displaying such signs, as many families seek alternatives to ensure safety during celebrations.
Kaylen Schroeder, a mom to a 5-year-old, echoed similar concerns regarding yard signs: "He doesn't actually live there, and there was no photo or name... We just did not feel safe putting one in our yard."
Dr. Neha Pathak, WebMD Chief Physician Editor, emphasized the necessity for families to evaluate their environment: "Everyone has to consider the risks in their own local environment."
