My child fell victim to a scam - what should I do?

A video resource for parents on what to do if a child falls victim to a scam. It provides recommendations on how to prevent such a situation, what to do if it has happened, and where to get advice and help. Direct communication with the child, joint activities and a trusting relationship are important so that the child has the courage to ask for advice and help in case of questions and concerns.
 

The video was prepared by the Estonian Union for Child Welfare as part of the project "Smartly on the Internet". The video was produced by the Vaas agency. The video was co-financed by the Ministry of Social Affairs and the European Union.

A 13-year-old girl entered her details on a phishing website and so scammers gained access to her bank account.
