Parents Banning The Internet From Naughty Kids
from the and-stay-unconnected! dept
Just like banning television and the telephone in the past were ways for parents to punish their kids for acting improperly, parents are increasingly banning internet access from their kids - and finding that it works wonders. Some parents completely ban the computer (one even tells her kids to use the encyclopedia - the book kind - if they need to look up something for their homework). Just another sign of how important the internet has become to kids. Of course, people never considered the telephone and the television to be a "vital tool" of education for kids - so how long until we hear about a kid suing his or her parents for cutting off "vital" internet access, harming their academic (and future career) goals?

I told the little bugger, just go slip the Playboy's out from under your older brother's bed if you want to look at that stuff because your Dad works in the computer industry and no matter how sly you think you are, you are always going to get busted.
Once he realized he has lost game time, emailing privileges as well as now having to haul his butt to the library ( gasp ) in order to research homework assignments, I think he has learned his lesson.
