Abstract
The Internet offers children opportunities as well as risks. However, the risks children are exposed to are still unknown. A total number of 420 Malaysian children aged 9-16 were asked to fill a 54-items questionnaire measuring Child Online Risks. The result shows that children are more exposed to ‘Unwanted Exposure to pornography’ such as seeing obscene materials on websites (31%), and ‘Potential harmful risks’ such as seeing bloody movies or photos (26%), people being beaten up (26%), and hate messages (16%). Malaysian children are in danger to encounter with online risks such as pornography and violence materials.
