 Virtually every predator on the planet has 24/7 access to your child if they have unrestricted access to internet connected devices.

I remember being taught to not trust strangers in parks, stores, etc as a child. Most predators relied on chance, being close to a victim, or executing specific plans.

How do you even begin to protect a child when every predator is in their pocket?

Of course, predators aren't the only danger, which makes the topic even more concerning.

Technology has many positive benefits, but I don't think most people are taking the negative consequences seriously enough.
