Young Children should be warned for internet abuse


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/9271616/Children-as-young-as-five-should-betaught-dangers-of-sexting.html

Peter Davies, ( the Association of Chief Police Officers ) said that young children have to be protected for the danger of indecent images on internet. Nowadays children aged  5 to 8  have access to all sex  sites, which they can copy easily. To warn the children for the dangers the organisation will send a film to primary schools.
Davies also said that the police has to be more alert as they have made too many failures. For example, they didn't do anthing about a case, which had been reported three times.  It would be more effective if the police cooperated with other areas. To trace missing children there will be started a help- line on the 25th of May.
Abuse on internet is as harmful as physical abuse. The fear and psychological pressure are even worse and mustn't be underestimated.

Personal opinion

It is scaring that children are exposed to these dangers., but it is for the parents to keep control on their children's internet behaviour. There are many things you can do to protect your child for internet abuse.   You can use a filter,  instal a timelimit or use a password. If you need a password to logg in the child can not use the computer in the absence of the parents.
It is a pity that children spend so much time on the computer besides abuse it causes other problems such as overweight and bad motor skills.

  1. Indeed, young children need to be protected against the potential dangers of the Internet. Nowadays they start using the Internet, even before they know how to read and write. We as parents introduce them to the Internet and in this day and age we are also directly responsible for setting the rules straight and controlling their access from the beginning. We need to have clear guidelines. Start working on some Internet etiquette!
