Internet abuse: Awareness, prevention & addiction - ITREALMS
Commentary@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!
Internet abuse and internet addiction are strong weapons that the enemy known as "satan" had planned to use to steal, kill and destroy the glorious future of many people in these last days.
It is no longer news in our society that we have multiple cases of children of the same parents having sex with each other, people having sex with animals, rape cases involving minors have also increased tremendously. It is very sad that youths of these days are desperate to become billionaires even while they are still in primary, secondary or tertiary institution because they believe this can be achieved through the internet. Internet abuse, particularly internet fraud is now the order of the day among youths in today's technology age.
