Unsupervised Internet access to children! :
Though the country is moving fast in terms of Internet and smart-phone penetration, but moral and social values have been in decline. A survey conducted by Manusher Jonno Foundation shows that about 77 percent of the school-going children in Dhaka have either visited or are visiting websites with explicit content. Undoubtedly, it is alarming news for the nation.
Although under-18 children or those without NID cards are not supposed to directly be able to get mobile connection, they can manage it with their parents’ NID cards. To save our future generation, parents need to make sure that their children do not have an unsupervised access to smart phone or Internet.
