Suba North Member of Parliament, Millie Odhiambo, has called upon parents to take an active role in shielding their children from the adverse effects of digital platforms.
Speaking on Friday to religious leaders, parents, teachers, and digital safety experts who attended "The International Missing Children's Day" symposium in Ngong deliberating on the effects of the internet on young minds, the legislator emphasized the urgent need to regulate children's access to online content.
Odhiambo, who is also a vocal child rights advocate and legislator, said that young children go missing every year, urging parents to be vigilant and educate their children on responsible internet use.
She shared how before joining parliament, she did a lot of work about online child safety, because there are many people who are predators of children.
