6. A problem hiding in plain sight?

Vicki and Geraldine discuss Parent Zone’s latest research into financial harms to children online. Is this a category of harms that we’ve simply overlooked? And if so, why?

• We tend to think children aren’t doing much financially online, but how true is this
• When children get scammed online, why are they often reluctant to tell anyone?
• Young people told us that many of them were acting illegally online. Is the internet normalising lawlessness?
