Parents across Australia were terrified after watching the Todd Sampson documentary Mirror Mirror where he looked a website called Omegle, a place where sexual predators are easily linked to young children.

But while many are even more scared of allowing children to play online, the show left us with little resources as to how to deal with it and how you keep on top of all the ways in which predators can find their young victims online.

Today we look at how you actually help young Aussies handle the dangers of sites like Omegle while at the same time knowing their curiosity will more than likely lead them straight there.
