Kids as young as FIVE need lessons in online safety - NSPCC
Found on The Register on Tuesday, 05 February 2013
Kids as young as five should be taught how to stay safe online, with tips and advice coming from their mates as well as teachers, a UK children's charity has said.
The charity's phone-in helpline ChildLine said that compared to just one year ago, a whopping 70 per cent more boys had called in about seeing porn online, some of them as young as 11 years old. Sexting and hardcore pornography is now so normal for many teenagers that focus groups described it as "mundane".
Maybe, just maybe, it would be the job of the parents to make sure the kids aren't spending their time online without them being around. It almost seems like parents these days think that TVs and computers are nothing but babysitters.
