Young Children Unsupervised

Posted on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 at 06:09AM by Registered CommenterInternet Safety Advisor | CommentsPost a Comment

A recent study by Ofcom, the independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries, shows that 59% of children 5 to 7 years of age, access the Internet at home and that 21% of those children access the 'Net unsupervised!

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) has launched an online safety program, Hectors World.

I have personally used this program in my 8-week lessons for 2nd and 3rd graders.
