We need to stop the erosion of parental authority.
My new passion is to get Internet education mandated in all schools. We've got to start teaching our kids how to be safe in the 40,000 plus chat rooms that are out there. Because they're being had. These sexual predators groom the kids. I know, I've arrested enough of them.
The Internet provides very serious challenges to our ability to keep from children the kinds of things that are destructive to them.
When politicians say, 'Oh, parents should supervise their kids' Internet use,' it drives me crazy.

Child Protective Services, all over the country, need to be revamped top to bottom.
Parents have the ability to screen their children's Internet access at home.
I am the parent of teenagers, my daughters are 13 and 15, so the issue of Internet safety has been an important issue. I have been visiting middle schools to talk about some of the challenges that they face.
