Problems faced by parents when their children

use the internet

New technologies and the Internet are a useful tool for learning,
communicating and having fun. However, like any instrument or
activity, they have their dangers, especially for the most
defenseless children between 5 and 12 years old.

According to studies done by experts, it is affirmed that children are


exposed to the famous Groaming which consists of online adult
practices that try to gain the confidence of minors in order to
obtain images of a sexual nature to harass and exploit them
sexually.

Another issue that is very careful would be the inappropriate


content that children are exposed to when using the Internet since
when a minor surfs the Internet is that they access material that is
not suitable for their age, whether sexual, violent or related to
topics such as drugs, weapons, gambling etc. Children can come
across this type of content while they are looking for information,
play or watch a video, appearing on many occasions in the form of
banners, pop-ups or advertising links that refer them to other
websites

This is why certain recommendations must be taken into account in


order to control and reduce the risk children face in the face of this
problem, such as being close to them when using the internet,
there are also applications that block inappropriate content and
above all provide a lot trust the children so that they feel free of
any doubt they have.
