The aim of this research is to determine risk factors for children at risk throughout Eastern Anatolia Region and in the province of Muş. In the research, scanning model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The sampling of the research is 9, 10, 11. and 584 students attending 12th grade. 463 (79.3%) female students and 121 (20.7%) male students participated in the study. The measurement tools formed from the risk factors form and the virtual risk factors scale. Frequency, percentage tables, independent sample t test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. Research findings showed children who are victims of neglect / abuse, children with special needs, children with health problems and working / employed children have been identified as groups at risk factors in Muş province. These risk factors seem to be related to the low socio-economic level of the region. When the virtual risk perception is examined, it is seen that girls are deprived of virtual opportunities. For this reason, it is thought that economic improvements that will provide social development for the solution of problems, opening new business areas, and increasing the income level of households will be effective in preventing risk factors.
