The young Japanese are so dependent on access to the Internet on their mobile than the government wants to educate parents and schools to restrict the use with their mobiles.
The Japanese children, use Internet and mobile messaging several hours a day, are they the first victims of crimes? The Japanese government cares and wants to take action both against their misuse and to better protect them.
“Parents give Japanese mobile phones to their children without thinking about the possible consequences. In Japan, the mobile has become an expensive toy,” explains Masaharu Kuba, supervisor of this initiative.
What conduct adopt?
This measure comes in a package designed to reform education, which also provides for the development of simplified phone-only telephony functions and an integrated GPS receiver for the safety of children.
Alongside these measures, the government wants to improve filters Internet access to better protect the youngest. Between cyber-bullying (cyber-bullying) and attempted deception or extortion, but often only means of communication between parents and children on daily trips sometimes long, the phone remains a double-edged tool difficult to control.
Yet Japan has a high crime rates among the lowest in the industrialized countries. But the possibility of reaching children directly with the object staff that the phone outside the supervision of parents, is a serious cause for concern.
