For many children who are discovering the influence of new technologies, it is impossible to live far from the screen. Difficult to escape the virtual and live away from the Internet after the invasion of smartphones, tablets, computers. The risks for children of this generation "digital native" are very numerous. The first risk of reliance on new technologies is the isolation that can result in the case of the child who begins to no longer maintain social contacts with those around him. The child no longer prefers to go out to play with his friends, or hold a discussion with his family, he is constantly attracted by his screen and feels satisfied and happy only when he is in front of his computer.

There is also another risk, that of discovering violence and pornography by surfing, without the parents' knowledge, on sites that offer content intended for adults. To discover sexuality must be instructive, pedagogical and progressive. However, the discovery of sex on the Internet shocked the child, even traumatized him and pushed him to develop a very bad perception of sexuality.

Cybercrime also remains a potential risk of excessive exposure of children to the Internet. Children can become victims of cyber-sex offenders who are lying in wait for them. These criminals can be men as well as women, and be of any age. The ease of getting in touch with people across the Internet promotes this kind of dating and requires parents to be extra careful.
