In today’s world almost every kid and teenager is using Smartphone, tablet or computer and are connected with internet. But do their parents know what they are doing on internet?
Almost every survey conducted proved that parents have no idea about what their children are doing on internet. Many parents claimed they have set some rules on usage of internet such as reporting any threat, danger or problem but only 15% children said that they knew about it, and even fewer used that report.
Most girls and females used instant messaging and social media while male kids preferred games. It was also reported that most male kids bypass the parental control software and passwords and have access to websites and material which their family have prohibited for them, usually adult content.On the other hand girls were more at risk from online grooming and families should be more careful about it.
