Fox News:未成年人易成为网络安全受害者

2017-12-12来源:和谐英语

Fox on Family. Even kids aware of stranger-danger, may not be prepared for what's lurking online:

"You can be playing a video game and then there'll be something that kind of comes up for pornography and all you have to do is click and you're in a whole 'nother world."

Licensed professional counselor Rusty says he and his wife were stunned during recent forums with middle school classes in Texas: "When she says how many of you girls have actually experienced a boy asking for a nude picture of you and she said more than half of those girls raised their hands."

In a separate room, nearly half of the boys reported some kind of a stranger-encounter, like someone trying to coax them into a car.

Lozano urges parents to be proactive; warn kids about sexting and pornography, the laws against it and possible ripple effects, including blackmail: "From making a mistake of sending a picture and saying well, if you don't send more, then I'm going to spread this around or I'm going to get you in trouble."

He recommends age-appropriate warnings for younger kids, too. Because once a child starts using a smart device, they can be a captive audience.
