Parents urged to make sure their children are being safe online
EAST YORKS: Parents are being urged to keep their children safe online this Christmas.
The warnings are being given to parents after their children may have received computers as gifts for Christmas.
Andy Nunn, ICT officer at East Riding Council, is urging parents to ensure their children are aware of being safe online when using social networking sites.
He said: "It's very exciting when children get their own laptop or iPad but parents and carers should make sure their children have some general online safety.

"Social networking can be great but you need to think twice before adding someone as a friend, posting any comments or pictures and make sure you know who can see what.
"In a chat room or game, you may feel you can safely talk to strangers but remember they are strangers no matter how many times you meet online.
"It is a big risk to arrange to meet an online friend in the real world."

“There's no way kids are going to get as they say"de-addicted". You have to enforce controls. For example, I use an app called Qustodio to restrict the content my kids watch on the web. It also includes watching what they actually go through as also the time they spend on the internet. Teenagers hardly understand self-regulation. It needs to be enforced. Qustodio is a nice
little free app. Just Google for more info. on it.”
