Your address was posted. Start here.
If anyone is in immediate danger, call 911. Preserve the post and report threats. A privacy cleanup cannot provide emergency protection.
What should you do in the first hour?
- Save screenshots, the URL, account name, date and time before requesting removal.
- Tell the affected adults and household staff. Agree who handles reports and who keeps the evidence.
- Report the post through the platform's own abuse route. Keep the report receipt.
- Report threats to local police. For a federal threat, use FBI tips.
- Call your insurer to ask whether your policy includes incident-response assistance. Coverage depends on your policy.
The FBI threat guide explains evidence preservation and reporting.
What evidence should you preserve?
Keep the original messages, screenshots, links and report receipts. Save the surrounding conversation as well as the posted detail.
PEN America's documentation guide explains how to keep a useful incident record. Do not post the evidence publicly.
Where can you get specialist support?
For abuse or stalking concerns, contact an advocate through your state's official program. An address confidentiality program is separate from commercial removal work.
Florida's Attorney General victim services division administers its program. Ask the program about its current process.
See PEN America's field manual for further platform and support guidance.
What happens after the immediate response?
Keep a log of each report and response. A Google Search removal leaves the source website separate.
Review the underlying records and account settings once the immediate response is organized. Keep sensitive incident details off public forms.
A Rush start begins a Quiet Cleanup within one business day after acceptance and verification. It does not provide physical protection.
