It’s Not Just a Game—It’s a Risk
Many parents assume online gaming is harmless fun. But with voice chats, private messaging, and unfiltered content, gaming platforms like PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, and Discord can be a gateway to some serious dangers.
What Are the Risks?
🎮 Stranger Interactions – Predators and scammers use gaming chats to build trust before exploiting children.
🎮 Cyberbullying – Trash talk can escalate into harassment, affecting your child’s mental well-being.
🎮 In-App Purchases & Scams – Many games encourage spending, and some fraudsters trick kids into buying fake items.
🎮 Exposure to Inappropriate Content – Some games and chats aren’t properly moderated, leading to violent or explicit content being shared.
