With kids spending more time gaming during the UAE summer break, Dubai authorities are warning parents about rising cybercrime risks. From online predators to harmful content, unsupervised screen time can lead to real dangers. Parents are urged to use parental controls, monitor gaming habits, and keep communication open to ensure their children’s digital safety. Summer means increased screen time for children, but it also raises concerns over online threats like cyberbullying and fraud. Dubai Police recommend active parental involvement, setting time limits, using parental controls, and fostering open communication with kids. Be aware of signs indicating your child might be targeted online and provide real-world alternatives to excessive screen time.
