Children at each and every age are affected by the change in their environment; be it positive or negative. Technological revolutions have submerged the children's and adolescents' life as is evidenced with the increase in the use of computers, smart phones and internet. Though all these have augmented their knowledge but still it has robbed them of a number of things as well. India has a growing young population with all these technologies but what they lack is digital literacy and online safety measures that exposes them to a number of cyber crimes. These crimes not only have short term but log term repercussions causing deviance in their personality as well. The onus to guide and protect this young population from these vices rests not only on their parents and teachers but also on  social media and all the law- enforcing agencies at the national and international level.
