Cyber-safety for kids
A CHILD can hit a wrong key while Googling, and land in an undesirable site.This scenario prompts housewife Magdalene Teo, 42, and her husband to stay vigilant when their 11-year-old son does online research at home. Parents like her who wrestle with cyber-safety for children are comforted that a government-appointed council has suggested that an agency be created to help shield minors from the Internet's dark side. The Advisory Council on the Impact of New Media on Society (Aims) said dangers will multiply and these include cyber-bullies, Web addiction and harmful content, for instance, sites glorifying hate speech. I also often hit a wrong key while Googling,and saw something weird.So whenever I surffing the internet,I always check that did I make a mistake before I press ENTER.

Hi Meng Ting,
I also have the same experience as you sometimes. I would like to post you a few questions:
1) How many hours do you spend surfing the Internet per day?
2) Are you ever bullied in the Internet? For e.g. being scolded with bad words or unpleasant remarks? If no, what would you do if you are being bullied in the Internet?
3) What should young people do in order to prevent themselves from being addicted to the Internet?
Cheers,
Ms Seow
Hi Miss Seow,
I did not surf the net everyday,if I surf the net maybe around 3-4 hrs,then I will off the computer.
No,I will inform my parents or teacher.
Maybe they can read storybook,help mummy to do some housework,for e.g. sweep the floor,wash dishes.
Meng Ting:-)
