Abstract

The era we are living in today is a digital era. We just cannot imagine a second moment without digital
connectivity. Each one of us be it a child, an adolescent or an adult, technology has become an integral
part of our day to day life. Each aspect of our life is dependent on some or the other way. School going
children are also experiencing the same specially the adolescent children. Though they use it to widen
their horizons in multiple aspects of life but in that due to unawareness they get trapped into the vicious
circle, which is often difficult for them to break without any expert help.
Cyber crime is conducted using computer and internet. It is the crime which is far dangerous than the
war with weapons. Each day we hear of some new application for some aspect which sounds interesting
to us and we download it without knowing the repercussions of it. In present time it is the data theft which
is the cause of concern. Each one of us needs to be aware of cyber security. Since India is transforming to
digitization at a faster rate, our youth is far more vulnerable to get entrapped in cyber crimes due to lack
of awareness of cyber laws. Our children fall prey to cyber bullying, cyber stalking, identity theft, online
abuse, online gaming threats and what not.
