With adult content available for download on the internet, take preventative steps for your child’s safety.
Article regards of Review Online.
With an array of information available to any and everyone on the internet, a child is not protected from not seeing pornographic material, unless you take control.
This includes downloading it for themselves or seeing it from another child.
Here are several ways that you can take action:
2. Ask your child on a regular basis, who they interact with on social media.
3. Children should never do the following:
- Accept anyone on social media that they do not know.
- Send photo’s to strangers
- Give out personal information such as where they live, what they look like or where they go to school.
4. Check if your child has a password.
This means that your child has inappropriate content on his / her phone that is self-deduced or provided by other learners. There is no reason why your child should be in possession of any content that has to be hidden.
5. Create a specific place in the home where cell phones are left during times when mobile phones may be used.
This can be a basket or bowl in a cupboard that is accessible for both parent and child.
6. Limit the time your child uses their cellphone.
Restrict them from using their phones during times such as when family or guests are visiting; study time; dinner time or when they go to bed.
