Police advises parents on how to protect children online
Police are urging parents to remind children about internet safety rules: not to share personal information, to report suspicious messages and offers, to be cautious with virtual interactions, to download programs only from trusted sources, and to seek help from adults in case of cyberbullying.
The internet can be a valuable source of information and entertainment for children, but it also presents certain risks. Law enforcement officials remind parents of the need to monitor their children's online activity and to remind them of the rules for safe online behavior.
Specifically, police advise children to keep passwords and personal information secret. If children receive suspicious messages, threats, or unusual offers, they should immediately inform their parents. It is also important to be cautious about online interactions and offers to meet in person.
In addition, law enforcement officials are urging children to only access information through verified links and to download programs from trusted sources. If children experience cyberbullying or other suspicious situations, they should immediately report it to adults.
Parents are urged to pay attention to their children's online activities, so that their leisure time with tablets or computers is enjoyable and safe.
