Would you let your daughter out in the evening on her 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 - often until late at night
- Visiting sites that encourage eating disorders
- 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
Sometimes, these issues can also be a threat for girls this age:
- Online relationships with much older people
- Spending too long online in Facebook and other social networking sites
- Using their webcam when strangers are watching
