The curious nature of children could lead them to degrading, racist, discriminative, sexual, violent... content (text and images) or to sites that encourage them to carry out activities that put their psychological or physical integrity at risk.

Unfortunately, there have already been quite a few cases of pedophiles passing themselves off as other children or fantasy characters to gain the confidence of children in order to have obscene or openly sexual conversions with them or even arrange to meet them face-to-face.

Email messages, forums or chats could convince, trick or even coerce children into committing all types of crimes both inside and outside the Internet.

If your children have access to your bank details or credit card number, they can buy almost anything via the Internet, from a poster to a luxury car, or contract services ranging from online games to a trip around the world.

Many websites, email messages and file sharing programs allow users to download all types of music, games, documents, etc. However, although they may appear harmless, many of them hide viruses or programs that infect computers or open the door to hackers, who could then steal confidential data, among other things.
