Children and the dangers of social networks
Children and social networks Increasing danger?
Children are subjected to great dangers in social networks.
And, unfortunately, it is getting earlier when they learn to use them, despite the risk.
Risk due to ignorance of the world around them, and the anonymity that the network gives to many people, who hide behind a nick or alias
According to a study carried out by the McAafee company, 3 out of 10 parents publish images or videos in which their children appear at least once a day through their personal profiles of social networks.
12% do it 4 times or more a day.
The manager of the firm has warned that "if the shared images fall into the wrong hands, you can get to subtract sensitive information such as the date of birth, address, school or even the full name of the child."
Parents want to share images with friends and family through social networks, but they must take into account the risks involved in publishing these images on behalf of their children.
Tips to avoid risks
Psychologists and experts have commented that the use of social networks is neither good nor bad, it depends on the use that is given to them.
Used inappropriately, it can be very harmful among children and adolescents.
You can find content such as: pornography, violence, abuses, sexual harassment, abductions or even offer money in exchange for sexual pleasure.
Psychologists believe that it is necessary:
- What parents who know the friends of the children, and worry about looking at which friends have added to their social networks.
- Explain to children that they should not be photographed or send nude photos or videos, and tell them what dangers they expose themselves to if they do so.
- Children between 5 to 8 years old should not use a cell phone.
- At age 14 it is the ideal age to use social networks.
- PCs or mobiles should never be in the child's room, nor should they be used at night.
- Children should use electronic devices for entertainment for 2 hours, not more because it can cause addiction.
