NEW: FAMILY MONITORING PROJECT VIDEOS
The Cyber Trust has released three videos in a series covering different products that families can use to monitor activity. To access them visit that Trust's Youtube Channel here.
This collection of case studies explores real-world news stories highlighting how children and young people can be placed at risk through their online activities.
The collection is drawn from real cases investigated by the Cyber Choices team at the National Crime Agency and stories reported in the press.
All of these cases could have been prevented had parents been able to monitor their child's online activity and intervene.
Children are routinely exposed to adverts for weight loss injections and pills online, according to a report by the children's commissioner for England.
It found young people were "bombarded" with ads for products which claimed to change their bodies and appearance, despite this kind of advertising being banned.
Dame Rachel de Souza said the posts were "immensely damaging" to young people's self-esteem and called for a ban on social media advertising to children.
