What are dangers of the internet for children?

Answer 1

It doesn't have to be, but teens may be more vulnerable to online predators (like adults looking for sex with minors) and various other scams.

Safety rules are similar to elsewhere in society:

• Don't give personal info like full name, address, phone number, bank account number or email to strangers
• Never reveal passwords
  
• Don't send money
• Careful with nude pictures/webcam shots of yourself - you can't know if someone in a private conversation stores the images and spread them all over the internet, and they may come back to haunt you twenty years later. This goes even if you know the person on the other end, like a class mate.
  
• If you are to meet an internet acquaintance in person, make sure to meet in a public place and bring someone else along
