Tech control is not the ultimate safety measure. Connection between parents and children is fundamental for the safety of children in cyberspace.

● Always listen to your children. Listening to whatever they say makes them less vulnerable from being attacked by the perpetrators.

● Conversation about being safe online begins with talking about safety and body education in the offline world.

● It is not the child's responsibility to keep themselves safe. Adults need to minimize risk in their child's environment.
