Time To Step Up Parents! Take Control Of Your Child’s Online Future.
According to a report by the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, there has been a significant increase in reports of online child exploitation during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first quarter of 2020, the centre received 4.2 million reports of online child exploitation, which is a 106% increase from the same period in 2019.
Online child abuse can take many forms, including cyberbullying, sexting, grooming, and child pornography. It can have serious and long-lasting effects on a child’s mental health and well-being.
Parents and caregivers can take steps to protect their children online, such as monitoring their online activity, setting privacy settings on social media accounts, and having open and honest conversations about online safety. It is also important to report any suspicious or concerning behaviour to the appropriate authorities.
