Matt Broekhuizen, Managing Director and Founder of CRM agency Table 19, argues that more needs to be done to shield children from the dangers of the online world.
Children’s internet use has hit a record high in recent years, but with so much of the content they consume being regulated, there are ongoing debates about just who takes responsibility for their online safety. Exposed to tablets and smartphones at an increasingly early age, children are correspondingly savvier about using them and easily share tips with friends. Parents in contrast are frequently overwhelmed and often naive about what children can do with sophisticated devices.
