Things to watch out forHere are some common signs of grooming that you should be aware of. It doesn’t mean that your child is being groomed, but signs to look out for if you’re worried:

• Excessive use of the computer• Aggressive behaviour regarding

internet usage• Secretive behaviour• Change in use of sexual language

Advice to Parents

• Help your children to understand that they should never give out personal details to online friends - personal information includes:

– their messenger id– email address– mobile number and any pictures of themselves,

• If your child receives spam / junk email & texts, remind them never to believe them, reply to them or use them.

Advice to Parents

• Know what your children are doing online

• Ask them to teach you to use any applications

• Keep the computer in a family room - this means you can keep more control of what they do (i.e. Webcams)

Bullying – Cyber Bullying

• Same as normal bullying, but totally traceable

• “The use of ICT (particularly mobile phones and the internet) deliberately to upset someone else” Digizen.org

How does it differ from normal bullying?

• Invasion of personal space• 24/7• Size of the audience and the

number of unwitting bullies• Less empathy (not face to face)

Cyber Bullying - Advice• Same as normal bullying, but totally

traceable• Never rise to nastiness. Block it and report

it. Remove people from your friends and if necessary, report them to the people that run the website.

• Adjust your privacy settings so that only people you choose can see your profile. Make yourself un-findable in searches and set your profile to private if you want.

• Think about what you post. Only write things online that you would say to someone's face. You don't have to join in on forwarding embarrassing stuff.

Tell the company that provides your msn account, internet access or mobile phone about the problems you are having. They

have systems in place to take action.
