Always in the headlines: Social media channels on which content glorifying violence, anti-democratic, pornographic or homophobic content is disseminated. Even worse is what happens far from the headlines. If control mechanisms fail or are not in place, then children and young people are at the mercy of images and content without protection. Even primary school children are affected.
School principal and bestselling author Silke Müller fights against this with her book "We are losing our children". She warns of a new escalation and spiral of violence that takes bullying and cyber-grooming to a new level. This development has far-reaching personal and social consequences. It leads to the brutalization of young people, to mental disorders, a division in society and, in rare cases, to deaths.
Well-meaning parents who equip their children with smartphones are often unaware of this.
BSI presenters Ute Müller and Michael Münz talk to Silke Müller about how to counteract this development and give parents tips. An episode that gets under your skin and a must for all parents who want to protect their children in everyday digital life.
