Many young children have unmonitored access to the internet and are using the internet to socialize with others. What problems do children face while being online without the supervision of parents? How can these problems be solved?

These days the

internet

is as essential as food for certain teenagers. Not only do they have unrestricted allowance to use the

internet

but

also

they are using the

internet

to build social interaction.

However

,

this

trend brings with it numerous repercussions which are needed to be addressed and overpowered. To commence with, fraud is the major issue a child could come across with unsupervised access to the

internet

. The social site is a hub for fraudsters. They trap innocent kids, especially girls, and misuse their private information and in worst cases, they even blackmail them to fulfil their sexual desires or monetary benefits.

Furthermore

,

such

incidents can traumatize an individual. Another problem that needs to be considered is that students can get distracted while studying. To exemplify, according to reports, there are around 3000 cases every month, concerning the hacking of social media accounts for defamation.

Hence

, privacy is at stake through irrational access to the

internet

. One immediate practical solution is that the

internet

should be allowed with parental controls and for a limited time only.

Additionally

, the feature of blocking unprotected websites should be implemented by parents.

Moreover

, constant monitoring is a necessity.

For instance

, AppVault is one

such

software which blocks and even at times tracks the usage of risky sites.

Thus

, with the help of ,technology

this

hurdle can be crossed. To conclude,

although

the

internet

has innumerable advantages and is a stack of knowledge yet excessive use by adolescents can be harmful to them as well as their families.

Thus

, continuous governance is mandatory.
