SELFWORTH: How many children have access to the net in this country? Even many adults don't have access let alone their parents

Where do you live.... Okotuomia village in bayelsa huh?

I dont consider it a needless question.
Parents shouldnt be taken by surprise what their kids get involved in. They should take interest in great details of their activities both offline and online, so that though still very possible, it wont be that easy for them to stray.
Sad to note that many parents today dont really know their childrens' tendencies.
That said, for the case at hand, the parents shouldnt punished for their kid's sin.

Sunymoore: My parents dnt knw im a p0rn star. Because i have more dan 1000 p0rn sites in my bookmarks. But all they see for my pc are educational website, unknown to them i use my hidden mozilla to stream p rn movies, i nvr try to download wo

I like pun stars, i hate p0rn stars. But what i love most are real borne stars.

@op
of course they are responsible. That is their full time God given job, to train their children. So many Eli-like parents these days thinking child training is the responsibility of every other but themselves.

When Parents decide to "do as they do in Rome", be "real parents", by "actively parenting their children; for example, monitoring what their child does online,
You peeps will say they are 'too controlling", sadist, over-bearing, unfit,


But when they become "enlightened" and give unfettered freedom to their children (and children being children, will always abuse unlimited freedom!), you come around to blame the same parents!

I guess nothing will satisfy us until we ruin this world beyond repair!

Everyday, we see as one bizarre act upon another (gay, lesbianism, Satan worship, disrespect for elders, gun-maniac, e.t.c) being
"admitted as NORMAL" and kids are taught that "it's cool" to do such things!

(shakes head in sadness at what we are turning a beautiful world into)

Bottom line: A Parent is a parent, for certain reasons.
A Parent is RESPONSIBLE for their child's actions BUT the Parent must be given a freehand to TRAIN THEIR CHILD PROPERLY!
We can have it both ways!

Lastpage!

Children are like sheep and parents see their Shepard that guide,direct and protect them.Most internet providers gives their customers the options of blocking/filter some websites for kids protection.Parents in name of "privacy" allow their kids of 8-10years lock themselves up their rooms and surf the web.More than 20% of 8-10 years (boys and girls)have watched pornographic materials on line without their parents knowledge .These little kids you see they know alot,don't under estimate them.

afam4eva: I guess it's time for me to create an online parenting robot.

But somehow i feel the parents could have monitored what their child was doing online. They could have restricted him to certain sites. But it's a tough job if you ask me.

na the same person wey do juju for cockroach to be invisible to avoid falling prey, na him go still do for chicken to dey rub face so he kukuma dey see anything invisible!
No be oyinbo wey do pencil dey do eraser? Abi people wey do virus no do antivirus? Na terminator wan kill john conor for part one, na the same terminator dey protect am for part two.

The work of parents is to monitor and train their children. Otherwise they have no business parenting, and should be barren.
