The internet offers a great deal of interesting contents for our children and their education, but it also sometimes entails some risk, particularly for those not yet able to automatically recognise the danger signs.

Scenario

Our children watch videos on-line, chat to friends and make purchases. But the more they use devices, the more exposed they are to fraud attempts, the abuse of personal data, cyber bullying and identity theft:

  • between 9 and 17 years old, mobile telephones are the main device used to access the internet.
  • 8 out of 10 on line with smartphones between 9 and 17 years old
  • between 9-10 years old, access to the internet is via the smartphone
  • children aged 9 years old already on social networks
  • one in five of those aged 9-10 years old and one in four of those aged
  • 11-12 pretends to be older when signing-up with Facebook
  • of the very young, 10% are victims of bullying on the internet or via APPs
  • 9 in 100 have been victims of cyber bullying
