Perpetrators who show an unhealthy interest in children are becoming more active and savvy.
Therefore, every child needs to be taught basic rules that can guarantee his safety.
What do they consist of?
Less communication on social networks with people whom children do not know personally
It is extremely easy to create a fake profile on social networks and approach a child of any age by analyzing their interests.
For this reason, it is important for parents to talk about the rules of behavior on social networks.
Children are very sociable, so they can easily make acquaintances in the virtual space without knowing the person personally. However, this is too dangerous.
Advise children not to get close to people on social media that they don’t know personally. Definitely don’t agree to meet or give out any personal information about yourself, experts say.
Secret code
If you don't want a stranger to approach your child by lying about being a family friend, it's worth coming up with a personal secret code.
It can be any word or whole phrase that people would say if they were actually sent to you by their parents.
It is best to use unusual phrases that cannot be guessed.
Avoiding contact with strangers
Experts point out that children can be in a very vulnerable position when their parents are not around. It is impossible to always be together, so you just need to help the child behave correctly in different situations.
For example, it is better to completely avoid any contact with strangers for the sake of personal safety.
