Introduction

I was flipping through the pages of the newspaper when I landed on horrific news about an eight-year-old girl being gang-raped by minors 12–13 years of age, disturbing! isn’t it?

There has been a drastic increase in these crimes in recent times, why? What is the reason behind it? and we all know the answer, easy access to information via the internet, has ruined the present generation.

Dear parents, there is an urgency to actively participate in our children’s daily activities, our babies are growing and so are their hormone changes that stage the beginning of the adolescent phase.

The ways to safeguard our children from it :

Educate:

It is important to educate your children about the negative impact of the web and how they affect psychology.

Keep an eye on online activities :

keep an eagle eye on the content they access on their mobile phones or any digital device. You can check their browsing history or any changes in their behavior. But don’t interfere too much in their privacy.

Right security tool:

Implement the right security software to protect your children from landing on restricted sites.

A brief article that I have penned down to help parents and children to overcome the disaster of the dark web.

Conclusion

Don’t be harsh towards your children be strict, when required. A good parent is a good listener and maintains a close relationship with their children. Spending quality time with them and guiding them towards good is an important parenting tool and technique.Get to know their friend’s circle, encourage them to be in a good company. Keeping them occupied with their hobbies on the weekend is an important act to keep them focused for an empty mind is the devil’s workshop.

I believe you will agree with my words and find this little information valuable.
