The addiction to facebook has made many children to neglect their studies, become victims of the virtual world.
Recent years, the amount of people involved in the social network Facebook is increasing rapidly. Up to now, our country has 22 million people use this site and mostly teenagers.
With the advantages of ability to create a private world for users, Facebook is increasingly captured the hearts of the young like an addictive substance. However, the addiction to Facebook has entailed many implications that are not so good in terms of psychology, makes the children to neglect their studies, many children become victims of the virtual world.
It is not difficult to encounter groups of students after school focusing a corner, at the snack bars, cafes, engrossed, staring at the screen of smartphones, whispering with countenance enthralled, amused. It is not only after school, that time at home, instead of focusing on school work, rest, have fun, the children resumed “glued” on the phone screen. Nothing attracts the attention of the children to? That is social network Facebook.
Many students treat the “Facebook” as rice to eat, water to drink daily. The children’s continuously status updating, posting photos and intently following up comment, clicking “like”. The more friends, the more followers, the more I feel proud.
Facebook almost becomes an essential part in the everyday life of the children. Pham Quynh Anh, a student of class 9 in Hanoi to share: “One day I spend more than 10 hours to online Facebook. It doesnt used Facebook daily, I feel very uncomfortable. So I find every way to online Facebook. The photos more “like” and “comment” I really like it. The commentary compliments, I like also the comment criticized, the like and just want to delete right away”.
There are thousands of students in secondary or high schools spend most of the time during the day to use Facebook. Social networking not only makes the kids take time, a distraction when studying, but also makes the children fall into the virtual world. Think of the children is still very immature, not knowing that many pitfalls are spread out waiting for the children to fall into. Fact, there were many children suffer from the bad objects taking advantage of trust, fraud, threats and abuse which has a profound effect on the storage.
Mr. Hoang Xuan Launchers, Department for combating high-tech crime, Ministry of Public security said, along with the development of the Internet, the crime of child abuse are also increasing with the complicated, unpredictable. Increasingly, the abuse of children via the internet is increasing.
Status get acquainted on the network, then create the trust and then scams, appropriation of children is no longer a rare thing. In particular, the object of abuse is male, is showing signs of increase. According to the statistics, then on average each year there are approximately 1,800 child abuse but this is only small part of the thousands of cases yet to be discovered.
Mr. Hoang Xuan Reporter said: “a common approach and sophisticated that the object used today is through technology, the social network system, the program message online through the website of porn, through talk, chat, game window. With this way, crime doesn’t need revealed, does not take effort but to achieve high efficiency. Objects just sit in one place and perform acts of entice, seduce, abuse against hundreds of children in all over the world. In particular, in Vietnam today, with the number of participants in the social network accounted for 31% of the population, the risk for child abuse through social networking sites are situation is alarming”.
According to the analysis of mr. Nguyen Tung Lam, chairman of The psychology and education Ha Noi, many students spend too much time on the virtual world, just like living in your own world without being AI controlled. Immersing yourself in the virtual world, the children become separate, lonely in life. The work is heavily influenced to the school psychologist and even the children became insensible, live teen responsibility with family and self. Many of them bewildered, anxious, fall into a state of crisis, depression when the virtual world is exposing. This situation is alarming, but with movements using social networking as now, the prohibition is not an effective solution.
Mr. Tung Lam said: “the more prohibitions, more and more kids are curious and amused, as do the opposite. So the problem here is that we must have many forms, many ways to do different to make students consciously protect yourself. When students have a sense of self-protection, self prevention was successful. The family and the school must educate to place the place to be effective. Parts network security must be strengthened forces, find out the measures using information technology to monitor as well as whisked away the images, the bad things from those who take advantage of the network to protect children”.
Protection of children in general and child protection in the network environment, in particular, are posing many challenges for the authorities.
Deputy minister of Labour-invalids and Social affairs Dao Hong Lan said, to strengthen child protection in the network environment, in the process of building caring law, child protection amendments, the content related to child protection in the network environment has also been put into the draft law. Currently, the Ministry is drafting the project “child protection in the network environment,” submitted to The Prime minister for approval, stating the objects need to focus to strengthen this work as well as solution, the roles and responsibilities of the Ministries and departments.

Currently, in the process of implementing construction child protection caring law modified, content related to child protection in the network environment has also been included in the draft law. Today, on the Ministry of Labour – invalids and Social affairs carried out only island of The Prime minister is also under construction draft project for child protection in the network environment to The Prime minister for approval”.
Use a excessive lead to addiction Facebook of the young, are becoming alarming. Therefore, strengthening the legal system to protect children on the networking environment is very necessary. However, to pull the children addicted to social networking out of the virtual world need the hands of all the family, the school and themselves.
