5歲孩子每天都上網(wǎng)占四分之三
Nearly three quarters of children under the age of five use the internet every day, many unsupervised, an alarming study suggests。
As many as 72 percent of pre-school children are lured online on a daily basis by sites such as the BBC's Cbeebies and games like Peppa Pig, the research reveals。
Many parents are allowing their under-fives to explore the web without supervision, leaving them vulnerable to predatory pedophiles。
Child safety experts have reacted with horror, drawing attention to the dangers young web users face。
The alarming revelations also triggered warnings that frequent young surfers may struggle with their learning。
It is feared that spending so much time online will mean they lack reading and writing skills, and scientists believe the glare from the screen may damage the brain development of young children。
Professor Tanya Byron, a clinical psychologist, said leaving a five-year-old unsupervised on the internet is equivalent to "abandoning a kid in a shopping center for a couple of hours"。
She warned: "Parents don't realize they have a responsibility to prepare children for the online world as much as for the real world。
A lot of parents haven't been brought up on the internet and don't know its dangers。"
Michele Elliott, founder of children's safety charity Kidscape, said families need educating, adding: "Parents don't realize that predatory pedophiles are trawling the internet, seeking to ensnare young children."
However many adults seem to think they already know the pitfalls facing young web users, with 88 percent of parents surveyed saying they were 'confident' they understood internet safety issues。
Dr Shirley Atkinson, who analyzed the research data, said many parents appear to hold a false belief that they understand the web, while leaving their children unsupervised or failing to install rigorous safeguards。
The study, conducted by Plymouth Council, surveyed the internet habits of 423 under-fives, with an average age of four。
It found 305 used the internet every day, often unsupervised。
The most used sites were CBeebies and Peppa Pig online games, according to the research。
一項(xiàng)調(diào)查研究警告說如今約有四分之三五歲以下的孩子每天都上網(wǎng)，而且大多沒有大人陪伴。
此項(xiàng)研究顯示，多達(dá)72%的學(xué)齡前兒童每天都上網(wǎng)，觀看BBC早期兒童教育頻道或玩《粉紅豬小妹》這樣的在線游戲。
許多父母任由不到五歲的孩子上網(wǎng)，而且不予監(jiān)管，這給了許多戀童癖的人以可乘之機(jī)。
該研究發(fā)現(xiàn)讓兒童安全專家如坐針氈，呼吁大家重視兒童上網(wǎng)的可能面臨的危險(xiǎn)，并警示兒童經(jīng)常上網(wǎng)可能導(dǎo)致學(xué)習(xí)問題。他們擔(dān)心上網(wǎng)時(shí)間太長(zhǎng)會(huì)影響兒童讀寫的能力，科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為長(zhǎng)時(shí)間看屏幕會(huì)破壞兒童腦部發(fā)育。
臨床心理學(xué)家塔尼亞?拜倫教授稱孩子上網(wǎng)不予監(jiān)管等同于“把孩子丟在商場(chǎng)里幾個(gè)小時(shí)”。
她警告說：“家長(zhǎng)們沒有認(rèn)識(shí)到他們有責(zé)任讓孩子適應(yīng)真實(shí)世界，也有責(zé)任讓他們適應(yīng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)世界?！?/span>
“許多父母小時(shí)候沒有上過網(wǎng)，不知道其中的隱患?！?/span>
兒童安全慈善機(jī)構(gòu)兒童港灣的創(chuàng)建者米歇爾?艾略特說每個(gè)家庭都需要教育孩子?！凹议L(zhǎng)怕是沒意識(shí)到邪惡的戀童癖們就潛伏在網(wǎng)絡(luò)，意圖對(duì)兒童圖謀不軌?！?/span>
然而許多成人自認(rèn)為了解孩子上網(wǎng)的各種危險(xiǎn)，調(diào)查顯示88%的父母“很自信”地以為了解網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全問題。
雪莉?阿特金森博士分析了研究數(shù)據(jù)，然而說許多父母都自以為了解網(wǎng)絡(luò)而對(duì)孩子上網(wǎng)不予監(jiān)管，或者未采取嚴(yán)格的安全保障措施。
此項(xiàng)研究由普利茅斯委員會(huì)發(fā)起，調(diào)查了423名五歲以下兒童的上網(wǎng)習(xí)慣，他們平均年齡為四歲。
結(jié)果顯示305名孩子每天都上網(wǎng)，而且無人監(jiān)管。
研究發(fā)現(xiàn)他們最點(diǎn)擊的網(wǎng)站是BBC早期兒童教育頻道和《粉紅豬小妹》游戲在線。
