webfact Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Picture: Daily News The spokesman for the Royal Thai Police Pol Maj-Gen Yingyot Thepjamnong issued a five point checklist for parents to mitigate potential damage their children may suffer online. The Maj-Gen said that it was inevitable what with continuing closure of schools that children would be spending large amounts of time online. They were using phones, computers and tablets for many hours a day. While accepting that this was great to help with their learning in the pandemic and a great source of information there were also perils. Such as cyberbullying and children falling into the clutches of criminals. He issued a five point checklist for parents to help in monitoring their children's behavior, reported Daily News. This included being strict about the time they spend online, where they do it, talking to children about the dangers, reminding them of their own need to exhibit good online behavior and where to seek help if they fall victim to unscrupulous individuals.

tonray Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Having taught in government schools here....I would say they probably spent just as much time online during school hours pre-Covidn closures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Morpheus42 Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 This is a good advice. Kids nowadays are spending way too much time online. Would be even better if you would create a livable, open and free society where kids can go outside without fear and masks. Build more playgrounds, encourage kids to do sports (without masks, saw that a lot here, masks on kids while doing sports outside..) and teach them why digital intoxication is a real thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 This would be amusing, if it were not so sad. Since when are one of the most corrupt, least effective and least capable agencies in Thailand able to act as a moral authority? I realize there is not much moral authority here, at this time. But, the police? Please. Nobody takes these jokers seriously. Nobody. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The authorities do love to tell the public what to do. Of course this is the same chap who last week threatened the public if they criticize the police. The Royal Thai Police spokesman has warned the Thai people not to criticize the force. Or you'll get thrown in jail for a year for defamation, reported Siam Rath. https://aseannow.com/topic/1246578-thai-police-are-doing-a-wonderful-job-stop-blaming-us-for-everything-or-face-jail-says-rtp-spokesman/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely easy to do with Kaspersky kids the gov would do much better trying to get good deal to provide this for free or cheap, its only $15/year anyway but many parents do not know how easy it is to control kids online activity or are just too lazy and let them wild on a smartphone, not understanding apps are designed to be addictive.

Popular Post Paulaew Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'm not worried about cyberbullying or contact with criminals, I'm worried about my kid becoming a nerd. If he's not playing video games, he's creating videos about video games for YouTube. Even when he's studying, he's on the computer. He rarely sees the light of day. I'm just praying that he can go back to school soon. His school has re-opened, but most of the kids in his class are still studying online due to parental paranoia. These are difficult times to be a kid (or a parent). Paul Laew 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post arithai12 Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 Actually, I think parents are worse. How many times do I see a mother dragging a child by one hand, with her eyes and the other hand busy on the phone. Or couples with child at a restaurant, each of the parents busy with their phone and the child drawing circles on the table. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a teacher here for over 12 years, I don't have a problem with phones in the class. It's called "classroom management". The students know if they take out their phone, it will be taken from them and remain on my desk until the end of class. As for other teachers discipline... that's a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must live in a poor area.... where I am the kid usually has his/her own pad or phone and they all sit there dumb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
