Abstract

With the rapid advancement of technology and the increasing use of the Internet by children, cybercrime against children has become a major global problem. These crimes include a range of malicious activities such as cyberbullying, online harassment, extortion and sexual exploitation of children. Understanding the drivers of these crimes and how to prevent them is crucial to protecting children in the digital age.
This study aimed to identify frameworks for addressing cybercrimes against children in Egyptian electronic newspapers, which included Al-Youm Al-Sabea, Al-Akhbar, and Al-Wafd newspapers. To achieve this goal, the study was based on the media survey approach and used the content analysis tool. The study reached several results, the most important of which are: that Al-Youm Al-Sabea newspaper was the most productive of journalistic materials related to cybercrimes against children, the crime of electronic blackmail was the most covered, the social framework was the most widely used frame of reference, and the religious and historical frameworks were the least used in newspapers. The three. The causes of cybercrime as reported in the newspapers under study were the absence of family dialogue and the lack of family supervision. Awareness treatment was the main goal, and newspapers used double evidence (emotional and mental) in treatment. It relied on newspapers, relying mainly on their sources, to obtain information about cybercrimes against children. Newspapers in the study period did not use multimedia to cover cybercrime against children.
