Protecting Our Most Vulnerable Online
5 to 9 years old — that’s the average age of children self-exploiting online.
How closely are you monitoring your child’s online behaviour? Do you know what to look for?
Between September 22 and 26, the North Bay Police Service, along with 14 agencies across Ontario, participated in the Provincial Strategy to Protect Children from Sexual Abuse and Exploitation on the Internet. The focus of the strategy was on reports of children self-exploiting online. Police spoke with impacted families, highlighting the urgent need for awareness, education, and open conversations at home. As parents and caregivers, it is critical to stay alert and engaged in your children’s online activities.
