6. Bahrain Review of Internet Safety
What have we found?
There is no great understanding of what is personal information on social network
Many children set their profile to be accessible to public on social network
Many share personal information including photos with strangers
Many responded positively to the abuse acts on social networks, yet most of them do not share these unpleasant experiences

8. What is required? Assist families to protect their children online
With less intervention to child privacy
And more accuracy
Always (24/7) anywhere anytime
Develop a smart tool for social network that alerts parents of any grooming, bullying or suspicious behavior online

14. Smart Approach: Network Spider
Network spider download the relevant pages from the social network website of predators.
After a member page is fetched, URLs are extracted and stored into a queue. However, only follow links that are of interest, e.g., links to a group’s members, other social networks, comment links, and so on.

15. Smart Approach: Extractor
information Extractor component obtains data from user profiles, linkages, commenting, or subscription.
It then performs Pattern matching. For example, rule- based algorithms that rely on handcrafted rules can be used to extract useful information such as named entities.

16. Smart: Community Analysis
Community analysis is to identify common patterns within members in a Social network to form community of interests.
In Community analysis a subset of nodes is considered a community if nodes have stronger or denser links with nodes within the community than with nodes outside of the community.

17. Smart Approach: Visualization
The extracted network and analysis results can be visualized using various types of network layout methods.
Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is the most commonly used method for social network visualization.

18. Discussion
Obtained results can help you identify predators’ behavior and characteristics
These characteristics then can be integrated into a web portal that installed at your Childs' computer
And set to alert you whenever a similar behavior is emerged
We are welcome any collaboration to this research
