A study on children’s safety online in the Republic of Moldova, second edition

Being exposed to the effect of technological globalization, the Republic of Moldova has become during several years a country, with an increased rate of usage of informational technologies by the population on a daily basis. Today, almost every teenager has access to Internet, using several devices: cell phone, smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer. Today, more than ever, children and teenagers prefer the Internet as a source of information in favour of a library and live communication is often replaced by communication in cyberspace.

This study aims to inform teachers, parents and the individuals involved in the education of children, including civil society representatives, regarding children's behaviour online in Moldova. We hope that the information provided in this study will serve as a catalyst for the unification and consolidation of efforts of all actors whose primary focus is children, the active users of new informational technologies. The content of this study is divided into four chapters. The Chapter I entitled „Child safety online- conceptual clarifications and current approaches" aims at familiarizing the readers with the theoretical aspects of child safety online. The Chapter II entitled „The objectives and methodology of the study" addresses the objectives and research methodology. The Chapter III called „The results of the study" presents the findings of the research, and finally the last Chapter includes a number of recommendations for different actors in the field.
