Explanation:

The year 2020 brought with it a danger to mankind in the form of COVID- 19. An infectious disease caused by the spread of a virus which was unknown for the whole world until its outbreak began in Wuhan city of China and slowly it engulfed the whole world. There is no vaccine to cure the disease and the only way to keep oneself safe was by social distancing and to implement it lockdown was imposed by most of the countries. The companies are closed. Schools are closed. But the world can’t come to a standstill so people started working from their homes and online classes started for children from K.G. to the ones in college. Amit Sahu who is a senior cyber consultant says that the internet is a double-edged sword for kids. It is necessary to stay within the boundaries of safe limits else one can be exposed to the harms of various cyber offences. The various risks to which students are exposed:

There are various risks to which the students are exposed to be it mentally, physically or psychologically. A report by the UNESCO says that around 1.5 billion students in 188 countries were unable to attend school due to COVID-19, as on April 8 which represents around 91% of the world’s student population. The pandemic for many students means limited or no education. It also generates a fear of falling behind their peers and the children also miss the sense of stability and normalcy provided by the schools. Due to this pandemic, the exposure of children to online sources proliferated. The online classes instead of proving itself to be a boon rather somehow turned out to be a curse to some students. Many children who were not very active on online interactions are also forced to use online sources for studies where they are prone to various predators and they can easily harass these young minds.
