Survey suggests 85% of children aged 10 to 12 feel 'vulnerable' on social media

A survey of 100 Irish children, aged between 10 and 12, has found that 85% are wary of online dangers and feel ‘vulnerable’ on social media.

The responses formed part of a global survey of 6,000 children in 44 countries, conducted by the ChildFund Alliance.

It gathered the answers of children in both developed and developing countries, as part of the ‘Small Voices, Big Dreams Survey’, which is now in its sixth year.
