Safe on Net

As a parent, you want to keep your child safe always. It’s natural to be concerned about internet usage because we’ve all come across content no youngster should see. But that should not hold you back from allowing your child to access the web in a safe and secure way. Some 98% of young people use the internet, and just under half of these use it every day to make friends, play games, download music and do their homework. But, unfortunately, and often times inadvertently, kids are stumbling upon unsuitable internet content. Parents have many questions: How do I stop my child from accessing bad internet sites? What do I do if I find my child is looking at pornographic material? Is the internet good or bad for my child? Some scary facts 1. 42.1% of kids admit they have seen online porn. One in 16 have been exposed to hardcore pornography. 2. One in 12 have exchanged messages with sexual content to other people, while one in 25 have sent graphic photos of themselves.
