Protect your children from the dangers of the internet with CyberSentinel

Would you let your daughter hang out with strangers late at night on her own?

Of course not - but the internet presents many temptations for a young and impressionable adult.

You may be worried about these dangers to your daughter:

Encountering and befriending strangers and online predators in chat rooms, social networks and emails
Visiting sites that feature cosmetic surgery and body augmentation
See disturbing images or videos on web sites
Having online relationships with strangers prentending to be their age
Stumbling into pornographic web sites by accident
Getting bullied or threatened in messages or on web sites
Posting personal content on Facebook and other social networking sites
Visiting sites that feature violence or racism
Giving away personal details that may affect you and your familiy
Visiting web sites that encourage eating disorders
Using their webcam - with strangers watching
Downloading music illegally
Visiting web sites that glorify suicide or self-harm
Using your credit card without permission to shop online
Buying and selling from auction sites (without permission)
Spending too long on their computer socialising and not getting out
Going online at night - when you're asleep - making them tired the next day and affecting schoolwork

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

CyberSentinel can help protect against these problems. See how CyberSentinel works.
