I’m glad you found it helpful, Stephen. Here in Europe most of the schools do approach this topic, some early (with children around 10 years) and some a bit later (when they’re 14-15), but I know that there are still some who are not there yet… I think it can’t be early enough, or let’s say, when a child starts using internet etc. he should be told how to use it. Many parents I know don’t know exactly how to deal with it. Not all of them use social networks, and some of those who do use it exactly the way we would teach our children NOT to use it (putting dubious pictures online (when they’re drunk etc.) and telling exactly where they will meet with friends and when etc.). – Therefore I even think that some parents should be better informed. And as for the children, how can you help your child if you don’t know the world he lives in online?

Thanks for this very useful information.

Here in Brazil most schools, and dare I say a lot of parents, deal with the problem by ignoring it.

In reply to viviankirkfield. I'm glad you liked. There are many more ressources, but I found that these ones are a great start. And on the CEOP site you can find all sorts of informations and help. These sites are more interesting for European countries. Maybe someone knows similar sites for other countries? It would be interesting to know also how schools all over the world handle this "problem".
