SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 109
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Informed and engaged parents and caregivers who support and advise children in their access to the Internet and the use of ICTs open avenues for a safer online experience. Parents' effective mediation minimizes risk without limiting children's skills or opportunities. Taking time to surface the cyberuniverse together, to guide and reassure their children, and to provide age-appropriate rules about online conduct are crucial dimensions of this process. Equally important is to raise children's awareness of online risks and provide guidance on ways of addressing them when they occur.
Legal status
