The internet can be a wonderful place to learn a new skill, shop for birthday presents, and even connect with friends and family members. Sadly, there is also a side of the internet where predators are searching for their next victim. In order to safely use the internet, it is important for teens to know who may or may not be on the other side of the screen.
Whether kids are gaming or watching YouTube videos, kids usually feel confident they know how to be safe online. They may also believe the person they are connecting with is their friend. Predators do their best to portray an image that most teens could relate to and form a friendship where the kid feels safe sharing personal information.
If you are a parent or guardian, you can help to keep your kids safe by setting boundaries and teaching them about online dangers.
