Abstract

The issue of protecting childred from Internet abuse cannot be viewed outside the importance of the parental role in that process. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between parental mediation and child abuse through digital technologies. The aim of this paper is to examine whether parental mediation is a factor in reducing the risk of child abuse in the Internet space and whether intervention programs are designed to meet the needs of different categories of parents. The results have shown that parental mediation is a factor in preventing and reducing the risk of children online abuse. The extent of it’s success, among other factors, depends on the parental style and parental warmth. Furthermore, the data we have obtained suggest that it is necessary to deepen the current research on parental mediation in order to create better policies and program prevention.
