This was in Safe India circle. I think this circle should also give views.

As access to internet via various gadgets has become part of our lives, it has made our children susceptible to cyber crimes. With easy access, childen at a fast pace are getting exposed to pornography, obscene games, information theft, cyber bullying, to getting lured to meeting a stranger.

With this post, we want you to list every issue related to the subject. Below is some additional information from a recent study on the subject.

2. 54% worry kids will give too much personal information to strangers and 57% think their kids will be lured into meeting a stranger in the outside world.
