Our kids are as safe as we allow them to be --- Even though technology is developing beyond what we at some point thought impossible, the ways to be safe are also developing at the same rhythm.

In my opinion children are as safe as we want them to be, there are many ways and tools that parents can implement to keep them as safe as possible from online risks (I understand that it might still happen), as an example all video games are rated according to the content they have so parents can know which ones are appropriate for their children.

Same as you take care of your kids in real life you can take care of them in this "online life", it might be more complicated if you're completely out from the IT world but a first step is to be aware of what kids are doing online and about the risks they might face while surfing the net
