Since the COVID pandemic began, one in three teenagers report they have been contacted by online predators - but there are ways CQ parents can regulate home internet use.
Research released on Tuesday by the eSafety Commissioner, reveals teenagers spend around two hours a day online and have four different social media accounts.
