Recent research by the National Cyber ​​Security Center (NCSC) in the Netherlands has shown that cybercrime is increasing enormously. Online crimes ranging from fraud to looting families and children are on the rise.

This is because many people are working from home and online activities are also higher than before due to the crisis.

Hence, the project initially focuses on migrant mothers with children between the ages of 11 and 16 who are socially disadvantaged. Many of them have been given different norms and values ​​and other parenting rules than usual in the Netherlands. The Netherlands has a culture and education system of greater openness and freedom. These mothers can therefore have many problems with their growing teenagers who want to join their peers, make and maintain friendships and take advantage of the possibilities that internet and social media offer.
