How do I explain harmful content online to my teens?

They have restrictions on their phone but are likely to come across it; you can’t monitor or control everything they do.

Do I tell them there is online content which is targeted to people who are already feeling low, lonely and week, to cause them more damage to their health physically and mentally.

I was discussing this with a colleague he is very tech savvy and he went through all the content that his kids had looked at and they were cringing and worried, he then told them the police can go through your device at anytime and look at all your secret browsing etc, apparently it was quite a wake up call.

Good idea.
