Since children these days are being allowed to own mobile devices and considering that fact that they are very impressionable when they are young, as parents or guardians, we need to keep a tab on their internet activities.

As much as we think that our child is not prone to dangers because we have then in a protective cocoon, yet, we cannot avoid the fact that as we are moving forward, the world around us is getting more and more dangerous. And the deep dark corners of the internet are not just limited to pornography, they include several, more inhuman and devastating content like bad company, drug dealers, people who try to brainwash children and even terrorists. If we are not careful, something might just happen right under our nose, without us being aware of it and could get irreparable by the time we come to know. As they say, prevention is always better than cure.
