Children who use the Internet away from parental control may be exposed to so-called identity theft, where hackers exploit the child's lack of knowledge of the risk of violating their privacy.

They receive personal information from the child such as: the child's name, telephone number, school location and e-mail, in order to use this information for commercial purposes or to steal and use the child's e-mail for special purposes.

The child simulates everything he sees without knowing whether it is true or not, where the child's behavior is shaped by what he instills and learns from others.

In the era of technological development, the Internet has become the main role in shaping the behavior of the child and determining the way in which things are perceived, through the content that he is exposed to and then imitates and based on his behavior and thinking.
