Although, on second thought, why DON'T they know better?

Yes, well, in my homeroom, we've had several sessions about Internet safety, with this girl present. I even had three representatives from the court system come speak to the group about it, about the safety issues, about cosequences...very serious stuff, which should have made an impact. But I also know, with this group of students, I have several who spend substantial time on the computer at home in the evenings, some not even sleeping all night! Where are the parents? I don't know.
