Abstract
In today's digital era, children benefit from vast online opportunities but also face threats like cyberbullying, grooming, sextortion, and identity theft. India's legal safeguards—such as the IT Act, POCSO Act, and IPC provisions—address these risks, yet enforcement gaps, outdated laws, and limited cybercrime expertise undermine their effectiveness. As threats evolve with AI and IoT technologies, India must modernize its legal framework, drawing from global models like the GDPR, OECD guidelines, and the UK's Age-Appropriate Design Code. A multi-stakeholder approach involving policymakers, educators, tech companies, and parents is essential. Key steps include enhancing digital literacy, mandating safety-by-design practices, and strengthening data protection laws. With coordinated efforts, India can create a secure digital ecosystem where children are empowered to explore safely.
