They are not informed about the risks it poses, and how they can prevent them. The Internet is being misused by many students and little is done against it.
Chat is a place were people can communicate with each from all around the world without knowing each other which can become dangerous if not taking care. Teenagers who have thought to have found the right partner or a good friend, can easily be mistaken when they decide to meet. Behind the lovely person can be a murder or criminal just waiting for the opportunity to get you to the point were you meet with him and then it is when you see the real person, and then it is often to late to go back!
Their have been cases in which teenagers have decided to leave their family and go to live with a person they have met in the Internet but never seen before.
Behind the criminals mind, often lies a sick but clever brain who chooses his victims by looking for their weak points or giving fake promises.
When teenagers come to the age of about 12 to 17, they want to try something new, want adventure and it is the time were they are easily influenced by any person. The Internet is also a place were students look up for work they are doing at school etc This can become a problem because the student relies on the work he has taken. Although he does not know the meanings and sometimes does not even read the information he gives it in at school.
The internet has become a place where students download violent games which in some cases have lead to crimes because of the influence of the game. 6 months ago in the province of Santiago a 17 year old boy sliced his family to death with a samurai sword after having played a samurai game in the Internet.
But how can we end with the Internet danger? The answer is we cannot, but we can minimise it by taking some harsh but necessary steps. The first and maybe important step has to be taken by the parents. They have to control and set up a number of rules to minimise the probability of the child getting influenced.
They have to show interest in their children and make them clear about the serious consequences. Parents can limit the sites their children visit to make sure risks are clearly reduced.
Examples as above are not too common but have to be taken serious.
It is important to start taking preventing measures which could otherwise lead to a big problem in the future.
