Parents Struggling To Monitor Children's Use Of The Internet
from the biased-article dept
Here’s an article looking at a study in the UK saying that parents are struggling with how to monitor their childrens’ use of the internet. Many want a clearly labeled system, like movies use, that would (it seems) force sites to indicate what level their content was designed for. The article itself is a bit biased, as they express absolute shock at the fact 10% of parents didn’t think their children needed to be monitored online. While the article doesn’t indicate the age of the children in question, I still think that parents who are open and trusting with their kids and teach them how to deal with such things don’t necessarily have to worry so much about internet monitoring. For very young children, it might be a different story, but I’m not sure very young children should be surfing alone anyway.

No superfluous tech required...
Just keep the thing [computer] in the living room. Lack of privacy and peer pressure will go a long way towards keeing things in line…
