What parents need to know to keep their kids safe online





"Parents think a child is safe because when they're online they're quiet, but they don't know what they're watching," says Nic Wetton, the head teacher of JH Godwin Primary School in Chester.

Players find สล็อต to play for a variety of reasons. From groundbreaking animations to lights and flashes.

She warns their silence is often misleading. "Children can be traumatised by horrific videos they see online," says the head teacher who has 180 pupils aged from four-and-a-half to eleven in her care.

Ms Wetton says she sees children as young as six playing 12-rated computer games online. "We've had cases of children needing medication to sleep. This is immensely worrying".

Some children coming in to school are inattentive in class because they've been up all night, playing on devices like tablets or phones. One recent craze was to see who in a WhatsApp group could stay up the longest - the winner sent a message at 04:00.

As well as watching inappropriate content online, or staying up too late, children who are online unsupervised can be vulnerable to paedophiles.

These issues are familiar to Rachel O'Connell. She has investigated online child abuse, working on statistical techniques to identify abusers.

In the course of her research she went online posing as an eight-year-old child who hadn't made friends at school. Her understanding of the mindset of predators is extensive and chilling, for example, she says that friendless children are often a target: "They look for that," she explains.
