Key online risks

Scenario Tom is in year 5. His favourite game online is Minecraft and he loves chatting to his school friends on it and building bigger and better castles. One day though he came into school and he noticed his best friend Harry was more quiet than usual. He asked him what the problem was and Harry told him that on Minecraft the night before someone had destroyed the castle he had just created and was saying mean things to him. Harry said that this wasn’t the first time it had happened but he didn’t know how to stop it. Tom could see that his friend Harry was upset and he wanted to help him. What good digital deed could Tom do for Harry?

Scenario Joanna and Sarah were walking home through the park when they both received the same Whatsapp message. They opened it to see an inappropriate picture of a girl in their class, Rebecca. They were embarrassed to see it but they didn’t know what to do as it was from a number they didn’t know. Then they received a follow-up message that said ‘If you don’t forward this on to at least 4 people, I will tell everyone you were the one who sent the photo of Rebecca’. Joanna and Sarah were scared. What should they do?

Scenario You are on Instagram and a photograph of Aysha from school is being posted on many of your friend’s Instagram profiles. The photograph of Aysha shows her doing something a bit silly, and all your friends are posting this photo with the hashtag #regram. All your friends are re-posting this image and you feel a bit pressured to the same on your Instagram profile. What action should you take? #
