Early access to the internet has transformed childhood, but it has also increased the associated risks, such as exposure to malicious content and cyberbullying. The objective of this research was to mitigate children's exposure to malicious content online through education, technology, and family involvement to create a safe digital environment. The study used a mixed methodological approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses targeting children, parents, and educators, with the implementation and evaluation of technological tools and educational programs. The results highlight a significant reduction in exposure to inappropriate content thanks to the integration of technological parental controls and improved digital literacy among both children and adults. In addition, an increase in family supervision and an improvement in children's perception of safety were observed. These findings underscore the importance of a multidimensional and collaborative approach involving families, educators, digital platforms, and authorities, contributing to the construction of a safer digital environment aligned with international standards for child protection.
