Today is Safer Internet Day and we are being warned about the heightened risks for children who spend time online.
While cyber safety experts say more screen time is inevitable during the current Covid restrictions, social media use by underage children has surged.
CyberSafeKids has released the findings from a survey of more than 2,000 children aged between 8 and 12.
82% of them have profiles on social media and messaging apps. This compares to 68% last year.
