This seems to be getting seriously heated up here. Its hard for the parents to monitor what their kids are doing mainly because our society nowadays isnt the same as it was a few years ago, nowadays, both parents might be out at work all day just to make ends meet.

the computer/internet has just become another means of electronic babysitting.........

However, hopefully we have educated our children enough, if not there is a way to make sure that they are relatively well protected. For instance, they could have their own sign in, which means that the parents are administrators of the computer and can then set up safer surfing for the children by limiting what content their child can view. Also computers should be placed somewhere that a parent can have a quick peek over their childs shoulder as they walk past.

It's very difficult to monitor every movement our children make, especially as they get older and start going out dating etc.

If allocating them their on log in doesnt work, simple enough, take out the cabling for the internet until there is an adult present.

There are no easy ways or answers, i do know that the brit and eu closely monitor these sites, but it cant be easy and a few will slip thru the net unfortunately.

Keep well my friends and remember the internet is benefitting us because we are all able to debate and get support when we need it.

Biggest huggles people.
