Do you know where your child wanders online?


THE weeks of shock over violent incidents in schools have been bad enough, now we have violence involving children happening at home – in Batu Pahat, Johor, a nine-year-old boy allegedly attacked his six-year-old brother in a dispute over the online gaming platform Roblox.

This isn’t just a wake-up call, it’s a loud alarm sounding about our children. Our immediate reaction is to point fingers – at gaming, the technology or the content.
