Parents Beware: Shocking Internet Dangers for Our Children!
On November 5, 2025, the Rothenstein School will hold an information event about internet safety for parents.
Parents Beware: Shocking Internet Dangers for Our Children!
Under the title “Dangers on the Internet. How do we protect our children?” An information event took place on October 29th in the auditorium of the Rothenstein School. The aim of the event was to educate parents about the risks their children are exposed to online. Teacher Dirk Maximowitz expressed disappointment at the lack of parental participation, even though the topics are more than just relevant.
The lecture given by Chief Detective Anke Wortmann was impressive. She wanted to use disturbing images and videos to raise awareness among those present, because children's access to violent and sexualized content is a serious problem. The few parents present reported a lasting impression of this stirring performance.
Repeat the event
Due to the great need for information, this event will be offered again on November 5th at 6:30 p.m. This time, the parents of the Meinerzhagen primary schools, the special school and the fifth and sixth grades of the Rothenstein School are particularly addressed. Of course, all other interested listeners aged 18 and over are also welcome to receive comprehensive information about the dangers of the Internet. Tenth grade students support the event by selling drinks and popcorn, which should also contribute to the good atmosphere.
The organizers hope that there will be a lot of interest and emphasize the importance of parents dealing with this topic in a timely manner. “There’s something going on,” said a comment from concerned parents who attended the first event. It is often easier to deal with everyday problems than to face the potential dangers of the digital world.
A look beyond the borders
To give parents a broader context, in many countries, such as Thailand, access to information via the Internet is also viewed critically. Internet providers there such as 3BB, TOT and True offer various packages designed for long-term stays. For example, it is recommended to purchase a SIM card and a WiFi router to ensure constant access to the network. Offers vary greatly and tenants should always contact their landlord directly to find out about the options.
Thailand's internet speed improved to 10th in the world in 2024, with 218.94 Mbps for fixed broadband. This makes it clear that digital networking is not just a private issue, but also a social issue. Online safety requires parents and guardians to remain vigilant and actively communicate with their children about the use of modern technologies.
The Rothenstein School offers a valuable opportunity to point out these challenges to parents. It remains to be hoped that repeating the event will attract more interested parties and thus contribute to better protecting children and young people.
