Do you know what your child is looking at online? NSPCC warns parents should be more aware

The NSPCC in Wales is urging parents of 8 to 12 year olds to be more aware of what sites their children click onto when they are online.

A panel of more than 500 parents from the website Mumsnet reviewed 48 websites and said all those aimed at adults and teenagers were too easy for children under 13 to sign-up to.

Today it launched its 'Net Aware' campaign to get families talking about socialising safely online.

"This Christmas many children will have been given a smart phone, a tablet computer, or a games console" said Des Mannion, from the charity.

"It's the perfect opportunity for parents to have conversations with their children about who they are talking to and what they share when they socialise online."
