After a personal traumatic experience communicating with an online child predator and murderer disguised as a young boy, our Founder, Daisy Sudderth, birthed the organization - Expose The Predators. Daisy is passionate about exposing child predators on social media and informing the public on how to protect our youth. Today, we are educating, protecting, and exposing predators by teaching parents and guardians about the dangers online, lowering the amount of predators who gain access to children. Join the movement of #ExposingThePredators.

Daisy Sudderth is the current Miss Houston and a 20-year-old Junior at the University of Houston where she is studying Journalism and National Security Studies on a pre-law track. Daisy hopes to use her talents to become a lawyer for the FBI and work with victims of child sex crimes. Daisy is originally from Nebraska and Turkey. Her time outside of the United States taught Daisy how to understand people no matter where they come from. She is passionate about protecting children from predators and teaching parents the warning signs of child predators on social media through her non-profit “Expose The Predators.” Daisy is also an advocate for inclusion and advocating for people who the majority see as different because of how they look, walk and talk, who they love, how they identify, and how and who they worship.
