Access by kids to the Internet should be like kids breathing clean air.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Children who use the Internet are much better informed than when I was young. Use this to your advantage.
Kids listen to everything on the Internet.
Parents have the ability to screen their children's Internet access at home.
Because of technology today, we expect kids to stay in touch with us too much. I think that's unnatural. We really do have to give kids their freedom and allow them to go off and become adults.
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.
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.
When politicians say, 'Oh, parents should supervise their kids' Internet use,' it drives me crazy.
Kids should speak to each other. They're horrid to each other online, they bully each other - they should shut up and stop it. The problem with social media is there is too much freedom. It's too much, too young.
The Internet provides very serious challenges to our ability to keep from children the kinds of things that are destructive to them.
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.
