Abstract:
Technology changes and improves, but sometimes progress in the field of information technology brings new challenges and can lead to problems with the law. Students tend to get in trouble with the law through improper use of mobile devices, cloud storages and unsafe internet resources. Photos taken, distributed through social media applications and stored in the cloud, browsing through data in the darknet (or deep web), cyber-mobbing and –bullying all these situations can cause kids and young adults to get in real trouble. The training of teenagers in this field is vital to keep them out of problems. There are a lot of institutions and organizations, both public and private which try to help teenagers in such situations, but social workers, lawyers, street-workers, judges, policemen and teachers are only able to show their point of view from their field of expertise. The combination of knowledge and information from specialists from different fields into courses, taught in schools is the proper way to deal with crimes caused by plain ignorance.

This paper shows some typical situations, which may lead teenagers into trouble with the law based on real data from crime statistics and anonymized data from public trials furthermore it is shown how training courses could be created to solve these issues.
