I believe it is all about education, and teaching your children well...talking to them and trying to explain that TV, movies, video games, etc are not REAL....you cant even trust the news agencies any more.....its all about fear....its a wonder that we are all still around to waste our days on this site...with all the bulls%^t being spouted out there...we should all be dead...with bird flu, mad cow, west nile...etc

You can try and shield them all you want at home...but whats to say that they wont be going to a friends house and doing it there.

Teach them to make the right decissions in life....
Absolutely. My wife's step sister is given self help manuals to help her deal with hormones, teenage anxiety, depression. Her room is isolated from the rest of the house, she has a TV, computer and no parental guidance. I clean the PC at least once a quarter. This kid is screwed up and - judging from her chat conversations and surfing habits, she'll be pregnant or dead from an overdose (some kind of designer drug) by the time she's 16.

I talked to the parents and was politely told to **** OFF. So just like adults, when it comes to security Training, Training, Training. When it comes to kids and the internet - Hey it's just another form of media. Teach (train) and help with the decision making process.

IMHO
