And while that seems like an extreme example...guess what, mom and dad-that's exactly what you do when you hand your child a device without preparation. There are hundreds of millions of users on any given platform on any given day. Suffice it to say, when you give your child access to the online world, you give the world access to your child.
"The most dangerous neighborhood for your child to be in is in your own house, online."
--Eleanor Gaetan, Director of Public Policy at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation
Aside from the half-million predators targeting millions upon millions of kids each day, drug dealers, pornography, sextortion, cyberbullying, gaming addiction are all threats to our children. While most experts agree that you should just keep your kids off the internet, in today's world, that's almost impossible.Technology will find it's way into your child's life and so parents, we must prepare our children for this world so we can keep them healthy and safe.
