Hi guys,
Some of you may have seen the O2 Parents page where everyone can find out about info on how to make sure your children, relatives and yourself are always digitally safe.
Digital safety can account for many activities in day to day life; Purchasing items online, talking to people online, downloading content, texting, calling and even simply internet content itself.
It’s something that has affected a lot of people and is always a hot topic when mentioned in the media. I’m sure you all have your own tips and habits on how to stay safe and it’s a great opportunity for everyone to help each other out with their advice in this discussion.
What do you do to make sure you, your children and grandchildren are safe online?
What tips would you share with others who you thought were danger?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts BoB.
It sounds like you took the right steps at each stage which is good.
I had problems with a ticket site once, where they sold tickets before ordering them themselves, so the system would not work if they could not obtain all of the tickets they needed. I struggled for months to get my money back.
Do you think digital safety is better now than it was? There are more checks and regulations, but also more ways to communicate, download and purchase things that may catch an individual out.

How did you spot the issues with your daughter, BoB? Were you supervising her time online?
