The expert: Prefers the trust of children rather than prevent

Warn the bad guys and other dangers online is not the best solution if, as an adult, you want to protect children from potential abusers. It is best to create a climate of trust with the children so that they dare to ask and tell them if something is wrong, advises the internet researcher, Elza Dunkels.

You can warn about things online, just like on outside things, like "do not talk to strangers". But do not be too explicit in your warnings, so that you, as an adult, spread the horror.
