Would you know if a predator was texting your kid? 30 acronyms you should know

HOUSTON -- These days, social media has a language of its own, but do you know what some of the acronyms your kids might be receiving or sending really mean?

Maybe you know what "LOL" means, but do you know what "CD9" or "GNOC" means? A simple acronym might seem harmless. However, "CD9" means parents aren't around and "GNOC" means get naked on camera.

These acronyms are the latest tools that child predators use to communicate with kids.

"ASL: age, sex, location. Yeah I would have never guessed that," Rehan said.

Your child's phone rings and a single number flashes on the screen.

If you don't know what it means, you could be letting a predator talk to your child right in front of you.

Our sister station in Houston, ABC13, asked Rehan if they saw a number eight on their niece's phone, what would they think?

"I would probably, I don't know. What time is dinner? 8 o'clock?" Rehan said

According to the Child Rescue Coalition, an organization that aims to protect all children from sexual exploitation, there are 30 code phrases, either numbers or acronyms, parents needs to know.

The number eight is code for oral sex, according to the Child Rescue Coalition.

"So, this is something child predators are using, numbers to target kids," we asked. "Like 99, I mean you read it and you would have never guessed what it meant?"

"Parents gone. Wow, yeah that's dangerous," Nikki Leite, a mother, said.

We stopped Rehan while he was out with his dog and asked him a few questions.

"You said you have nieces and nephews, what are their ages?"

"Probably about 10 to 15 years old," Rehan said.

Rehan told us, together, his family does a good job at monitoring their phones.

But, when we showed him a list of acronyms that child predators are using to communicate with kids, he was shocked.

"I didn't grow up in the age of social media, so it's kind of creepy," Rehan said. "It's creepy. It's very disturbing. I am going to go home and talk to my nieces and nephews right now."

Most parents know what LOL or ILY means, but it turns out there is a longer, more secretive list of acronyms parents don't know.

We asked Leite, "If you had to guess, what would GNOC mean?"

"Good night, something or other," said Leite.

We told her what it actually meant.

"Oh my God, wow," Nikki and JP Leite said.

The coalition said if any of these 30 code phrases appear on your kid's phone, it's a red flag.

8: Oral Sex
