Dubai Police has issued a public warning to parents about how their reaction to children’s online disclosures can determine whether abuse continues unchecked.
In a post on X, the force said children often stay silent about troubling online experiences because they fear punishment or losing access to their devices. That hesitation, it warned, creates space for anyone targeting them to carry on.
“Listen first. Stay calm. Put their safety first,” Dubai Police said, adding that trust and open communication are what encourage children to speak up early.
