FACEBOOK.
Be aware that if your 10 year old signs up to
Facebook by claiming to be 14 then by the
time they actually are 14 advertisers will be
under the impression that they are 18.
Do you want your 14 year old child to be
targeted with drink adverts or other adult
related material?
What are the risks for children?

Age-inappropriate contentTV, Videos, Computer games, Internet?
Children are watching
a good deal
of inappropriate
YouTube, I-player
and
4OD material!
It is possible
to set parent controls !
Have you set
parental
controls on
your
television?
95% of children at Stamford Green access
YouTube at home.
Are you aware that all manner of violent, sexual
and racist material is uploaded to YouTube?
YouTube’s ‘adult controls’ rely on users themselves
to flag things up as inappropriate, and are often
highly ineffective.
It’s not possible to turn off
AUTOCOMPLETE
but it is possible to make
Google filter results.
www.google.com/preferences
A search for ‘naked people’
with Google Safe search on.
Beware:
Google Safe search
filters words not images.
Therefore typing in ‘naked people’
draws a blank but a naked person
could come up in a search for
something else!
What are the risks for children?
Online grooming-
Who am I actually talking to?
Children very bad at being discerning.
Children often believe that being sent a photo
proves a person is who they claim to be.
Hi,
Sorry I’ve only just got
round to sending you that
photograph you asked for.
Hope you like it!

doing online.
