There have been more and more cases of children receiving messages offering online part-time work, giving simple tasks and promising easy money. For example, they are offered to send photos of social infrastructure facilities, the location of military equipment, regime military facilities, troop deployments, etc.
Here are some tips for parents on how to protect their children from fraudulent schemes and illegal actions.
- Talk to your children about online safety: it is important to explain to them the potential threats on social media and how to avoid them.
- Monitor your children's online activity: check their browser history, social media profiles, and messages.
- Teach your children to recognize dangerous content: tell them how to look for reviews, check sources, and contact you or a teacher if in doubt.
It should be remembered that the above-mentioned actions, committed by a group of persons in prior conspiracy or with the aim of providing such information to the aggressor state, or if they caused grave consequences, are punishable by imprisonment for a term of 8 to 12 years.
