Astuteness means developing in youths a sense of being "street smart" when using the Internet. This involves:
- Developing an awareness of the dangers in cyberspace and recognising the different forms of these dangers, e.g. chat rooms that may be a gathering place for predators preying on young victims.
- Identifying and protecting youths from harmful and illegal online behaviour, e.g. educating youths to:
- Not give out personal information online to strangers in a chat room
- Not easily trust and meet up with people whom they meet online without supervision from an adult
- Always check the authenticity of any information received on the Internet
