Dangers and Perils of the internet

The Internet is not a safe place for people who don’t know all the dangers of it. Children need to be taught safe use of the Internet and what not to do when things pop up. A kid could be on the computer surfing the net and have a pop up shoot up on the screen advertising “smilies” or something of the like, and the child could click on it and the page gets redirected to a pornographic site. Kids don’t know any better when clicking on pop ups.



There are a lot of dangers on the Internet, if you fill out forms for a website like blog or chat rooms. Your personal information isn’t always confidential. Other people can see it and use it. There have been cases where a child has had their personal information up on chat rooms, have had random men adding them. They start to talk with them, get to know each other, and the man uses their personal information to find them, and kill them. There are people out there who have sexual needs for children who search for victims through conversations with carefree children over the Internet.

The Internet is a very big and scary place, we don’t know all the dangers that are on it and neither do kids. Keep kids informed about the dangers, and make the internet safe for you and your family at home.
