This chapter extends concerns made in the previous chapter and examines how constant exposure to digital media affects children’s developing brains. In Australia, where over 97% of households with children have internet access, young minds encounter unprecedented levels of violence, addictive content, cyberbullying and radical influences. Research demonstrates that exposure to violent media can desensitise children, reduce empathy, and alter brain activity, particularly in prefrontal regions responsible for impulse control. The chapter provides insights into how screen addiction shares neurological similarities with substance addictions and correlates with increased anxiety and poorer psychological wellbeing. Relatedly, cyberbullying represents a modern evolution of traditional bullying, following children everywhere without reprieve, with particular impact on adolescent girls through relational aggression and social exclusion. Most concerning is how radical online influencers exploit vulnerable adolescents’ natural identity-seeking behaviours through systematic deception, isolation and depletion tactics. The chapter emphasises how unrestricted access to digital content creates perfect conditions for exploitation of young minds ill-equipped to navigate these complex social environments.
