In a word, communicate. But there’s more advice in this article about how to keep those lines of communication open between you and your kids so that you know what they are doing online, and with whom. It also points out the importance of being a little tech savvy yourself, so that you know what they are capable of doing with the devices they are using.
Internet Safety: How to Keep Your Kids Safe Online
How often do we wait until we have the answers, or jump into problem-solving mode when someone admits to struggling, when all they need is to know you care? In my opinion, we’d do each other a huge favor if instead of trying to learn how to solve someone’s struggles, we spent more time learning how to care for one another.
The scary part is, this guy did way more than I’ve seen a lot of parents do when it comes to their kids devices. He limited her access to anything but kids games, he watched his internet router for suspicious activities. He just didn’t actually pay attention to what she was doing in the kids…
If you choose to forgive, know that it is your choice, including what forgiveness means to you.

The act of going from being silent and ashamed of your trauma to talking about it without shame is not something that just happens. It takes time, and it’s a step-by-step process.

You’ll be afraid of how they will react, you might even feel a little ashamed but you’re starting to realize that the shame shouldn’t be yours.
That’s a victory. That’s a step in the healing direction. Celebrate it instead of kicking yourself for not being ready to speak to a large audience. You can’t get there without these intermediate steps. So see them as signs of healing.
