As children are digital natives, it is crucial to take proper care so that they do not become an easy target for cybercriminals. One of the most difficult topics to approach with children is grooming and sexual abuse of minors through the Internet. It is probably parents’ biggest fear, both in “real life” and in the “digital world”, and it is not easy to approach this topic with children, not only because they are naive and childish, but also because they trust and believe others too much. It is essential that minors are aware of the benefits of the Internet, but also of the dangers online and of how they should protect themselves and act in a risky situation.
