Defense Against the Dark Arts should be part of the actual primary school curriculum, where pupils learn about, and how to protect themselves from, all the bad things, people, and bad things people do in this muggle world.
There will be plenty of controversy on exactly what should be on the curriculum, with disagreement of whether something is bad or how bad it is. In the grand scale of things, this controversy may actually be useful, as different people who go through different educations can get together and pool their knowledge.
How to avoid getting scammed should be on the curriculum. It's a very broad topic.
How to avoid sexual predators on the internet should be taught from a very young age. "Don't scare the little kids!" you might say, but because they are being taught countermeasures (how to avoid rather than just that they exist) they shouldn't feel powerless scared. In the bigger picture, if this is widely taught, it might lessen the need for all the "think of the children" censorship that abounds.
