“We ask you – as parents, guardians, friends: Talk to your children about what they do online. Ask what they watch, who they talk to, what inspires them.”
The statement on Sebastian’s fundraiser emphasizes the importance of parental involvement in children’s online activities. “What happened is a tragedy beyond words. No parent should ever have to bury their child,” the statement reads, highlighting the devastating impact of dangerous social media challenges.
Know what platforms your children use and what content they consume. Set up parental controls where possible.
Create a safe space for children to discuss what they see online without fear of judgment or punishment.
Teach children to critically evaluate online challenges and understand potential dangers, even if their friends are participating.
As Sebastian’s case tragically demonstrates, dangerous social media challenges can have fatal consequences. Parents are urged to stay vigilant about their children’s online activities and maintain open conversations about internet safety.
