"Madam President, I want to commend the rapporteur for this excellent report, which recognises the potential of the internet in the education and socialisation of children on the one hand while at the same time seeking to protect children from the harmful aspects of the internet. Children face many dangers in the digital environment, from sexual predators, illegal and unethical advertising to cyber bullying, and indeed there have been two cases recently in Ireland of suicides due to cyber bullying.
The digital environment by its nature fosters a culture of anonymity and secrecy. 49% of young people go online from their bedroom; 16% of young people have admitted to using a fictitious profile; 27% of 9- to 12-year-olds declare themselves to be older than they are when they are online and, worryingly, 50% of young people say that they find it easier to express themselves online rather than face to face. I particularly welcome the proposal for an educational alliance between the family, school and civil society in understanding the digital world and developing a responsible digital citizenship while identifying and developing strategies for dealing with the dangers of the internet. Finally, I believe that the schools eTwinning programme could play an important part in the development of such an alliance on a transnational basis. I was happy to support this report."@en1
