Abstract The swift expansion of internet in India has opened up numerous opportunities for kids. This includes chance to learn access information and connect with others. However, it has also exposed them to serious dangers. These include being exploited online subjected to abuse and at risk of trafficking. This study critically evaluates legal and policy strategies in place to shield kids from online exploitation in India. It pinpoints major shortcomings and obstacles that weaken their impact. The legal environment in India for protecting children includes various laws like Information Technology Act, 2000 Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 and Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2015. Although these laws are strong in theory, they encounter challenges in application. Factors such as a lack of resource and a low level of public awareness contribute to this. Moreover, the rapid developments of digital advancements often lags behind legislative updates. This leaves children to new online dangers like cyberbullying and sextortion. This study delves into these legal and policy deficiencies by examining recent cases. It reviews existing research on child safety online. Additionally, the paper looks into responsibilities of private sector entities. This includes social media companies and internet service providers in preventing and responding to online exploitation. Such aspects are not fully covered by current legal framework. To address these issues paper suggests various measures. It includes improved training for law enforcement. Additionally it involves the formation of specialized cyber protection units aimed at safeguarding children. It also calls for stronger cooperation among government agencies, non-governmental organizations and private sector to foster a safer online space for children. Furthermore paper highlights the need for digital literacy and awareness programs for children, parents and educators as a way to prevent online exploitation. This research adds to the understanding of complexities involved in protecting children from online exploitation in India. It provides actionable recommendations for enhancing the legal and policy framework to effectively tackle this critical issue
Keywords cyberbullying, online exploitation, child safety, digital literacy.
