Description:
Daini Tokyo Bar Association has provided SNS counseling for children as pro bono activities for regular basis. The purpose of this session to discuss about how to protect children on line based on our SNS counseling experience. OECD’s Children in the Digital Environment in 2021 shows the revised typology of risks, including contact risks and conduct risks. Our activities can help children not being exposed to contact risks and ourselves learning about their conduct risks.
Communicating with other persons online is very easy on Internet, even for children. It is good experience for them to make communication throughout the world; however, not all persons are good. Vulnerable children can be victims by communicating with bad persons, including by cybergrooming because juveniles want to talk about their worry and to be paid attention to. One of the means to protect children from being victims from cybergrooming is that reliable persons’ providing such children an opportunity to talk about their emotional feelings. Bar Associations can be organizations children may consider reliable.
Through SNS counseling, we have learned very much about what difficulties children may have now, including their possible conduct risks. One of typical issues is sexting or posting sexual selfies online. We can also discuss about how to prevent children from doing such problematic conducts.
The expected outcome is to gain insight on effective way to invite children safe place online.
