Children across Europe are being exposed to online threats but remain apathetic to the risks, according to research by EU Kids Online.

The findings, collated from research published in 21 European countries, suggest that social networking is a large part of the problem. Despite the many benefits of social networking, EU Kids Online warned that the phenomenon presents a threat to teenagers’ privacy and well-being.

The research revealed that many young people are giving out personal information online which can leave them exposed to identity theft and abuse.

I am making a list of safe and friendly websites for my two girls where they can socialize in a very nice environment without risks. One of them is Girl Ambition for girls between 7 and 12 years old.
