Schools were closed during the Corona epidemic. Due to the lockdown, when it was not possible to conduct lectures in a physical presence in schools, virtual mediums were adopted as an alternative. As a result, children have access to gadgets like mobiles, tabs, and laptops.
Nowadays, children are addicted to mobile phones and laptops, it seems that most of the time they stay on the screen. But there was no way to know what to watch and what not to watch. They are watching everything that comes on social media.
Many parents do not pay attention to the fact that children are not watching inappropriate content. Because some parents do not have enough information about computers and the Internet. Some measures can be taken to protect the child from watching adult content.
