- You will learn to use the new device in conjunction with your child, its possibilities and its risks.
- The minor must limit the use of his equipment to specific places and moments, protecting it from misplaces and unwanted access.
- Adults and minors will agree on rules of use for safety and rationality (everything in its time)
- Adults will try to know the possibilities and conditions of applications, programs and equipment, in order to intuit the risks.

It's about a Decalogue simple to follow and know, which has points in common with the letter Macarena told us that her mother had written to her son when they gave him a phone. What is essential is that parents get involved with their children and help and inform them to reduce the risks.
The document has been prepared by Social Network team agents and those responsible for the Master Plan, a security and information program promoted by the National Police that aims to raise awareness among the youngest.
He document has been widely disseminated through the social networks in which the Police is and which has many followers: more than 326,000 followers on Twitter, 75,000 on the Spanish social network Tuenti, about 33,000 through Facebook and 2.4 million visits on its channel Youtube. From Peques and Más we also reproduce it because I think it is important to disseminate it and anticipate all possible risks.
