Select all that apply.
a. Report the finding to the official child protection social services agency.

c. Talk with the parents about parental controls on the children's communication devices.
d. Encourage the family to schedule daily time together without communication devices.
e. Obtain the family's network password and examine online sites family members have visited.
ANS: B, C, D
Education and awareness-based approaches have a chance of effectively reducing harmful online behavior, including risks associated with cyberbullying. Parental controls on the children's devices will support safe Internet use. Family time together will promote healthy bonding and a sense of security among members. There is no evidence of danger to the children, so a report to child protective agency is unnecessary. It would be inappropriate to seek the family's network password and an invasion of privacy to inspect sites family members have visited.
