5. Social Networking
Social Networking sites are among the fastest growing phenomena on the Internet. Among the most popular social networking sites are Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest  and Twitter. All of them provide a excellent way  to stay in touch with family and  friends; sharing photographs and videos, comments or even playing online games. If used carelessly, however, they can expose you and your children to dangers.

9. Tick Tock
This social network app is from the creators of Musical.ly. As Musical.ly officially went offline earlier this year, Tik Tok has taken its place offering the user the ability to watch musical clips, create short clips up to 60 seconds and add special effects to them.
All the content that was hosted on Musical.ly is now on TikTok. So if your child had a Musical.ly account they will now be able to access this content on Tik Tok.
When you download the app users can see all the content without creating an account although they are not able to post, like or share anything until they’ve set up an account on the app.
You can set up your account by using your existing Google, Facebook, Instagram account, via or phone.
By default all accounts are public so anyone on the app can see what your child shares. However, only approved followers can send them messages.
Users can like or react to a video, follow an account or send messages to each other. There is the risk that strangers will be able to directly contact children on the app.
Children may be tempted to take risks to get more of a following or likes on a video so it’s important to talk about what they share and with who.
To delete an account you have to request a code from the app using a phone number.

13. How does grooming work online?
Grooming is about building a relationship with a child in order to later abuse them. This can be far easier online.
Games, social media, live streaming platforms and chatrooms enable people to make contact with children to try to groom them.
They can create multiple online identities and even pretend to be children and young people to trick real children into chatting and sharing.
They can find out a lot about individual children before they make contact by looking at the things the child has posted. 
Using this information they can target children who are particularly vulnerable and carefully plan what they will say and show an interest in. 
They can also contact lots of children very quickly in the hope that one will respond.
