SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 100
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Other concerns. Obsessive online behaviour or excessive use of the Internet may have a deleterious effect on children's health and social skills. At times, this may be associated with an addiction to online gambling or gaming, which are often violent and age-inappropriate. Online gaming communities can also be used by paedophiles seeking to make contact with children, or by bullies as a platform for abusive behaviour.
