Your Child

Would you let your son out in the evening on his own?

Of course not - but the Internet presents many threats for inquisitive young minds.

You may be worried about these dangers to your 8-10 year old:

• Encountering strangers and online predators in chat rooms, social networks and email
• Coming across bad language and unsuitable content
• Seeing disturbing images or videos on web sites
• Stumbling into pornographic web sites by accident
• Spending too much time on the computer or playing online games
• Accessing pornographic web and sites
• Visiting sites that feature violence or racism
• Getting bullied or threatened in messages or on web sites
• Giving away personal details that may affect you and your family
• Downloading movies, games or music illegally
• Playing games unsuitable for his age

Sometimes, these issues can also be a threat for boys this age:

• Talking innocently about family members (eg his sister) to strangers
• Visiting web sites that glorify violence and hate
