As the internet continues to increase its presence in the life of every individual, even the teenagers or kids are not untouched. So, as a parent, have you ever tried to peep into the online activities of your children? Yes, some parents are concerned about what their teenage children do online; whereas others hardly find sufficient time due to their busy schedules.<\/p>\n

Even children often hide their online activities from their parent\u2019s, reason being the nature of the content they browse. According to a recent study, seventy percent of teens “hide their online behavior” from their parents. These hidden behaviors pertain due to accessing violent or pornographic content. Children often engage themselves in other activities like cyber bullying<\/a>, email hacking or even developing intimacy with strangers.<\/p>\n

A similar case happened in 2010 with Danielle Wade, a 15-year-old girl in rural Virginia.<\/strong> She started chatting with a boy on her smartphone, who she thought to be 16 years old. The \u201cboy\u201d turned out to be a 38-year-old man- Edward Bracken<\/strong>. But she could not discuss the matter with her parents as she feared that they might get irate. Edward drove 400 miles to lure Danielle out of her home to abduct her. Police eventually located Danielle at Bracken\u2019s home and arrested both.<\/em><\/p>\n
