The digital landscape is an amazing place, opening up a world of endless educational and entertainment possibilities. As wonderful as it can be, it is also a complex and potentially hazardous place and parents grant their kids access to it without any plan or instruction. In fact, 80% of parents never talk to their kids about appropriate internet use - Not because they don’t care, but because parents just don’t know how.Did you know:
- 1 in 5 U.S. teenagers who active on the internet have received an unwanted sexual solicitation online.
- 36% of children message people they have met online and don’t know in person
- In 100% of the cases where a teen has fallen victim to a sexual predator, the teen has unknowingly, but willingly met the sexual predator.
Kids login to their favorite online gaming site, video-sharing platform or the latest apps and too often become victims of sexual predators. In their innocence, kids engage in online conversations without realizing the potential threats looming on the other end. It is more important than ever to become vigilant about your child’s cyber safety.
