Hi, there are risks such as
- digital or cyber bullying - where actions aim to harm through threatening behaviour, intimidation, or cause/create social exclusion/emotional distress, sense of isolatation
- identity theft or account abuse
-- where passwords & usernames are given to another or someone forgets to logout of an account once they're finished or need to leave it
-- or where personal photos are taken and used/manipulated inappropriately.
- exposure to unsuitable webites, links that risk computer infection, products, images, violence in game play, inappropriate language through video or text
- inappropriate or unexpected contact from people that are unknown
- the passing on of phone numbers
This can all be done through services such as search engines, social networking sites, email, mobile phones, texting, message or online chat
