[CHILD SECURITY ON THE INTERNET AS A MEDICAL LAW PROBLEM]

The purpose of our study is to assess the situation with safety of children when they use the Internet. A comprehensive analysis of the risks and dangers, the source of which is the World Wide Web, has been carried out. Researchers have used the survey method, which confirms the hypothesis that the problem of negative influence in the uncontrolled use of Internet technologies by children exists and is becoming more acute. The quantitative indicators of Internet users among schoolchildren are analyzed, types of crimes are identified, the victims of which can be children who use the Internet. An empirical study showed that one of the main goals of teenagers using Internet technologies is communication, which allows minors to be more free, and in some cases, makes it possible to be relaxed, liberated, frivolous, which leads to increased victimization. The article discusses the impact of virtual communication on the physical and mental health of children, the occurrence of Internet addiction, gaming disorders, attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder, depression and other diseases. In this case, special attention is paid to the characteristics of adolescence, which must be taken into account in the future when studying the safety of children on the Web. The results of our study indicate the need to continue working in the direction of studying the dangers that lurk for children on the Internet, developing measures to prevent harm to children when they use the Network, taking into account the positive foreign experience in applying such measures.
