Email

What are the risks?

Content:

  • Kids may open Spam email which may expose them to content or links which are inappropriate (i.e. sexually explicit or violent content).
  • Kids who are sending/receiving images/videos through email may expose the computer to viruses.

Contact:

  • Relationships can be quickly established through email, and caution should be taken, as children can easily be manipulated.
  • Sexual offenders may hijack email accounts and coerce children to send nude or partially-clothed images of themselves.
