Summary. Digital technologies are increasingly integrated into modern life. They are changing the rhythm of life and the mechanics of social interactions. For several decades, scholars have focused on the phenomenon of digital technologies and their impact on parent-child relationships. The challenge for research is that while some researchers highlight the new benefits of digitalization, others, conversely, emphasize the risks and losses that the virtual environment brings to parent-child relationships. The need to transform parenting in the digital age is increasingly being voiced in scientific discourse. The aim of this study is to conduct a victimological analysis of interpersonal parent-child relationships in the digital age and to examine the need to transform the parental role in this new reality. Family victimology, as a special branch of the socio-psychological victimology of personality, focuses on the study of interactive victimogenesis in parent-child relationships. Victimologists analyze the quality of interpersonal relationships in the interactive family system through the lens of three components: attraction, mutual understanding, and parental role competence. Attraction is viewed as the emotional component of functional interpersonal relationships. Gadgets and social media, rather than mere intermediaries in interactions, become the main protagonists, displacing real-life contacts. Mutual understanding is viewed as the cognitive component of functional interpersonal relationships. A parent's inability to build relationships based on mutual understanding, mental harmony, and coherence leads to dysfunction in the interactive family system. Role competence is the behavioral component of functional interpersonal relationships. Parental victimization makes competent parenting impossible. Such a parent delegates their tasks to digital devices, thereby blocking the possibility of constructive interactive cultural development. A lack of attraction, mutual understanding, and role competence in parents becomes a risk factor for the transformation of ontogenetic socialization into victimization in the digital age. This paper emphasizes the secondary role of virtual space in individual victimization, while parental victimization as a determinant of the actualization of interactive victimogenesis is brought to the forefront.
