Make no mistake; child predation on the Internet is a growing problem.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Internet provides very serious challenges to our ability to keep from children the kinds of things that are destructive to them.
Children who use the Internet are much better informed than when I was young. Use this to your advantage.
The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.
When I talk about the Internet, it's because young people are there. TV and radio are still what moves the masses, and you can't ignore that. But you also have to feed that monster that grows daily, which is the Internet.
You can't regulate what these kids are being exposed to on the Internet. It's so way out of control. All you can do is just try to talk to your own kids.
I don't mind children cribbing answers off other children. It's one of the ways they can learn. I also don't think there should be too many constraints on what they can look at on the Internet.
If you look where kids are spending time on the Net, they may have all the information in the world, but they're not accessing it.
Keep an eye on what your kids are seeing online. Parents need to stay involved in what their children are being exposed to. It's so important.
When fast food is not a treat but a dietary staple, the children surf the internet all day in dark corners of the room and are bombarded with latest gadgets. Things replace parental standards.
Access by kids to the Internet should be like kids breathing clean air.
