Cyber affairs expert Hasan Zaidi said that in the current era even children have mobiles in their hands and in such a situation they can be a soft target for cyber criminals. Not only online gaming, they are also made victims of violence and child pornography and blackmailing through the app. Due to fear, they are not able to tell anything to their parents, in such a situation they keep getting trapped and many times they also take wrong steps. In such a situation, definitely check the web surfing history of the children. Cyber army should be formed in schools. Only children should be included in this and oath should be taken from them. Along with this, they should be motivated to make other children aware as well.
