As much as I?m all about blaming the parent in 75% of the cases, what about the 25% of the cases when the parents have absolutely no control over the situations? Kids are very computer savvy these days, and it?s not like you have to be a genius to get around filtering software. A parent can only do so much to protect their child and sometimes it?s nearly impossible to do so. If a parent does his or her job by explaining to the kid the dangers that such risks entail (drug use, talking to online strangers, etc.) and maintains a decent watch on his child?s online activity, and the child still manages to fuck up, then I really don?t see why the parent should be held accountable. I guess they could install key loggers but then we get into the debate of how much rights, if any, should minors have.
