Why Strangers Are Asking Kids For Photos Of Their Feet

When you talk to thousands of kids about what they get up to on their phones you learn a lot about the behaviour of kids online. Cybersafety expert Kirra Pendergast has visited schools all over Australia and given talks to more than 500,000 students, teachers and parents about how to stay safe and be smart online. She’s not about bans, guilt trips or making parents feel ashamed or overwhelmed. Kirra is about helping kids and the adults in their lives to protect themselves and avoid exploitation and bullying. She joins Mia Freedman to discuss her own experience with cyberbullying, which led her to start a business that now helps thousands of kids to stay safe on social media. Kirra and Mamamia have created the Safe On Social Toolkit - a resource for anyone who wants to keep their kids safe online. Its an online course made up of short videos you can watch on your phone, that will answer every question you've ever had about how to stay safe and use social media in a positive way.
