Digital Divide
© Stairway Foundation, Inc
The Digital Divide exists between
adults and children.
The digital divide between

adults and children is neutral
It becomes negative when it

hinders the meaningful dialogue
between adults and children about
online child protection
In May 2015, According to Rajan Anandan, Vice-President and
Managing Director of Google Southeast Asia and India
• The amount of time that a Filipino spends on

online is 27 hours a week, the highest by far in
Southeast Asia
• Filipinos spend five hours a day on their
smartphones and 2.8 hours online
• 47 million of the 100 million Filipinos are

already on the Internet and 55% of the
Internet users are on smartphones
2015

Private FB profiles

Traditionally, child sex offenders has to go into great lengths in
order to secure the following information from the child:
Name Address
School
Contact
Age
Interests
Without the concept of taking control of their
private digital information, social media serves as a
“buffet table” as information are now easily
accessible .

Online Pornography
has taken the place of
traditional print media
pornography for first time
exposure of children

6 out of 10

Some children as young as 7 and 8 years
old are familiar with pornographic

the easiest to find online.

Text Clans

Text clans are organized by 1 person, or a
group of persons in order to form a “text”
group. They recruit members depending on the
criteria of their text clan. Some accept based on
interests, while some based on location, but
majority based on age bracket. All text clans are
based also on network coverage (eg. Smart,
Globe, Sun)

• Communication is done via texting – via
group messaging and individual messaging.
• EBs (EyeBalls) are often organized

• There is communication between Children
and Adult
• These Eyeballs usually involve alcohol
• These Eyeballs might and in some cases, have

eventually led to sexual abuse.

• Initial chatting can escalate to full blown online
grooming
• Children are within easy reach of predators without the
knowledge of children and child care service providers.
• Children usually don’t see the potential dangers
because “its just the internet”.

How will I minimize the online
risks children faces today?

Prohibit children from using the Internet?

Install filtering and blocking software at home.

Does our school have any Internet usage
policy?

Remind them to take care of their private digital information. It
would be alright to post personal information if for example they
know personally all of their contacts in their social networking
accounts

Remind them that not all people over the internet are really who
they claim to be. Explain to children that some people will make
them feel special in order to establish trust for eventual abuse.
Remind them about the concept of “Online Strangers”

Help them understand that having online friends is ok, but they have
to remember that they should not forget that they still have friends
in the “offline” world. And having 5000 FB friends is not really
“cool”.

Tell them that if they don’t feel comfortable with a particular
question or conversation, they don’t have the obligation to answer
that question or continue the conversation, and that it is their right
to reject anything that they don’t feel comfortable with.

If your child is facing an online bullying problem, make sure that:
• The child’s social media account is set to private
• That the child understands that he/she shouldn’t reply to the cyberbully
• That child blocks the persons who cyberbully him
• That screenshots are taken and chatlogs are saved of the cyberbullying
incidence in order to serve as future evidence

Always assure them that if they feel confused, scared or angry, they
can approach you and talk to you about anything, and that you
would understand and face the concerns with him/her.

Learn to understand, appreciate and enjoy
positive net culture

Because children and young people themselves are the richest
sources of information we can get on what they do today online.

The Internet presents a whole world of
opportunities for children and young people today

Yes there are risks, but what we have to do is to manage these
risks so that children and young people can enjoy a positive net
experience.
