STUCK ON THE WEB 1 All children should be given "digital citizenship" classes as young teens now spend three hours a day online, 2 says Children's Commissioner, Anne Longfield. The recommendation comes as Ms. Longfield releases a major 3 new study into young people's use of the Internet today. 4 Children are being left to fend for themselves against dangers such as bullying and worse: ill-intentioned 5 adults who seek to attract them. The report found that kids are also unaware that the vast amount of data that 6 they post on social media is not owned by them and could even be put up for sale. 7 According to Ms. Longfield "the Internet is an incredible force for good but it is wholly irresponsible to let them 8 go around freely in a world for which they are not prepared, which is subject to limited regulation and which 9 is controlled by a small number of powerful organizations." She then goes on to point out that it is "critical 10 that children are educated better that they can enjoy the opportunities provided by the Internet while 11 minimizing the risks". 12 The commissioner recommends every school must teach a digital program to all pupils from the age of four 13 to 14. The study has also shown that even three to four-year-olds use the Internet an average of eight hours 14 and 18 minutes a week. And 12 to 15-year-olds spend over 20 hours a week online. 15 As part of the study, the users of the website 900Mumsnet were asked about their worries with children 16 using the Internet. It found that 73% of parents were concerned about their children accessing inappropriate 17 material online and 54% were afraid of unwanted contact by strangers. Adapted from thesun.co.uk
