Safer Internet Day 2025
How do I protect children and young people on the Internet?

February 11, 2025 is Safer Internet Day 2025. The following video is 20 years old this year and has unfortunately lost none of its relevance.

Your children are also often defencelessly exposed to the influence of extremism, pornography and violence on the internet. You can make your child's online accounts safer with just a few clicks. You can find out how to do this at Klicksafe.de or at one of the following events:

Please stop believing that your children's internet contacts are really who they say they are. As a parent or guardian, you control the safety of your children on the Internet. This often works better with rules and agreements than with prohibitions.
This is how you can start a conversation with your child.

Are you unfamiliar with online games and what children and young people do on social media? Can't have a say? The "Safe online" podcast is specially designed to protect children and young people and also informs adults about challenges, criminal liability in class chats and fake news. 
"Sicher im Netz": Available from all major podcast providers or from the Rhein-Erft-Kreis police
