My address just got posted on TikTok

Screen-record the post.

A static screenshot is not enough — TikToks can be live, edited, or pull text from comments that load late. Open the post, hit record, scroll the comments, capture the username and follower count, capture the share count.

Save the URL and username.

Tap share, copy link, paste into a note. Same for the poster's profile URL. If they are live-streaming, note the start time.

Get the family to a known room.

Pick the room everyone goes to in any home emergency. Phone with you. Door locked. Treat the post as a possible precursor to a visit.

File the TikTok takedown.

Use the in-app report flow on the post itself — three dots, Report, Privacy and safety violations, "personal information." Cite TikTok's privacy policy on personally identifiable information. The Reports landing form at tiktok.com/legal/report is the second channel.

File on every copy.

Search the audio, the username, and the address text. Duets, stitches, and re-uploads each need a separate report. The original takedown does not propagate.

Notify your chain of command.

Supervisor, watch commander, or threat-assessment liaison — whoever runs threat response on your side. Send them the URL, the screen-recording, and the report reference number. They may want to flag dispatch or agency security.

Lock down the family TikTok presence.

Spouse and kids set accounts to private, hide following list, turn off "suggest your account to others," and remove any video showing the house exterior or kids' school gear. Two-minute job per account.

File a formal police report.

Doxxing is criminal in many states under harassment, stalking, or specific protection statutes for officers, judges, and other public officials. The report creates the paper trail that supports any later prosecution.

Tell the kids' school.

Brief the school office on the post and ask them to flag unfamiliar pickups or callers. Most offices will document the request the same day.

Tell the spouse's workplace.

HR or front desk. Same brief — flag unfamiliar visitors or callers asking for them. People who post addresses often try the workplace next.

Run a free scan on the household.

See the free scan. The result shows which broker pages currently list your address — almost certainly where the TikTok poster pulled it from. Same scan for spouse and parents.

Start the broker cleanup.

Either DIY across the major brokers or have us run continuous coverage. The post is the symptom; the broker pages are the source. Close the source and the next person searching cannot find you.

For NJ residents, file Daniel's Law demands.

See Daniel's Law. $1,000 per violation in statutory damages if a broker fails to remove within ten business days.

Loop in the FBI field office.

If the post includes a threat or is being shared by a coordinated group, the local field office handles interstate threats and online harassment of public-facing personnel. Bring the screen-recordings and the report numbers.

Move temporary if the volume keeps climbing.

When a post passes a few hundred thousand views with engagement aimed at locating you, the takedown will not catch up in time. Some departments and agencies have a relocation protocol — use it without shame. If yours doesn't, a hotel for a few nights is worth the cost.

Continuous broker cleanup.

A one-time opt-out is a delay, not a fix. Most brokers re-list within 3-6 months. We re-check every two weeks across 200+ broker sites and re-file the same day you reappear.

Sweep the household.

Brokers list you alongside spouse, parents, and adult kids on the same page. Closing one address closes the others. The next TikTok that finds a relative is the same risk to you.

Recurring confirmation, not a one-time setup.

Every quarter, re-run the scan and confirm the address pages are still empty. Brokers reappear silently — the only way to know is to check.
