So you have a kid huh? And you watch the news and you see the horrors of pedophiles luring kids into compromising situations over sites such as Myspace and in chatrooms all over the internet. What is Myspace going to do? Who do we blame?
Parents, blame yourselves. Don't let your spoiled daughter sue for 30 million because someone lied to her over the internet. Ever since the internet came into existence people have lied on it. Guess what, there are all kinds of parental controls on the web that can block the sites you don't want your kids going to.
That not enough? Take the damned computer out of their room. When my dad got the internet, the computer was out in the open where everyone could see it. I never was going to porn sites or anything that could endanger me because I usually had a parent over my shoulder.
How about the history feature on your computer? You can see everywhere you kid has gone on the internet. If they are smart enough to know how to erase it, get software that permanently holds the websites until you yourself access it. The same goes for messenger services. AIM, MSN messenger and all of the others have features to read the conversations held by your child and anyone they may be talking to.
There are too many parental controls out there for me to feel like any of this is the fault of Myspace. You are the legal GUARDIAN of said child, so the guarding starts with you. I admit, I don't know how to raise kids, but when I was a kid, I didn't have ADD, I just needed to be smacked every once in a while. And it only happened half a dozen times and all before the age of twelve.
You are not invading your child's privacy. A child doesn't have privacy because they are young and stupid. Allowing something small, like a diary, journal or whatever hidden under the bed is fine and you should respect it, but what they do on the internet more your responsibility as it is the web sites.
Rip out the phone line in their room and smack them upside the head on occasion. Get involved with them. TURN OFF THE FUCKING TV!!! And stop blaming the internet for your fuckups.
There, I said it. Just going off how my parents raised me.

Society is always looking to blame television or some video game for there children's problems.
I was watching CNN a few weeks ago. Apparently some 7-year-old boy sexually assaulted a 7-year-old girl.
They had several psychologists talking about the detrimental effects television is having on our youth and how sex violence is rampant of TV. The blamed the FCC, the networks, the video games. They blamed everyone you could think of, but they left out the most important and often biggest of culprits, the parents.
The parents have an obligation to their children's psychological welfare. We live in a time were sex and violence are around very corner. It's on the internet, on TV, it's in our schools. It is virtually unavoidable.
It is the parents duty to put this violence and perversion into some sort of perspective. They are in charge of molding their children's impressionable minds into healthy ones.
My parents found that a they could do this by teaching us to think critically about the shows we were watching
When I watched a movie with my parents, they would pose some simple questions to me.
For example, after a violent shootout on the A-Team, or a sexually explicit scene on Married with Children, they would ask me questions about what I had just observed.
These questions varied from, "What just happened?" too, "Is that something we should ever do? Why, or why not?" they would spend as little as five minutes or as much as a hour speaking to me and my brothers about what we were watching.
Often it led to much deeper conversations about life, and school. It helped me decide my own morals, but at the same time my parents were there to guide me in the process. I would find myself telling my parents about everything going on in my life, and my parents were able to be my guides in life rather than my dictators.

I was 12ish when I got the internet on my computer in my room. My mom would pop in every now and then to see what I was doing. And she would unplug my phone line every now and then, just to fuck with me.

Catch Me If You Can? I dunno, that movie was the first time I had ever heard the word "concur," and had to look up what it meant after I saw it. =P
And yeah, parents suck nowadays. (Just so the parents on Uber don't start with "No, I'm the exception," I'm generalizing here.) I honestly don't know why people continue having kids because they don't seem to want to raise them or have anything to do with them. Plop them in front of a TV/computer/video game console and they'll raise themselves, no problem. God, kids make me sick.

First of all
How about the history feature on your computer? You can see everywhere you kid has gone on the internet. If they are smart enough to know how to erase it, get software that permanently holds the websites until you yourself access it. The same goes for messenger services. AIM, MSN messenger and all of the others have features to read the conversations held by your child and anyone they may be talking to.
Heh, speaking as a guy who grew up with computers, there is no security feature my parents could have figured out how to install, that I couldn't have gotten around.
Second of all
How about instead of going 1984 on your kids ass, why don't you teach them morals, self respect, common sense....should I go on? I shouldn't have to, but apparently you don't have to be a reasonably well-rounded person anymore, because there are so many little systems in place to help out the idiot masses that even the ones that could be saved become reliant on those systems to run their life for them.

Too true... parents love to blame whatever happens to their kids to outside influences to cover up their own parental neglect... video games, movies, the internet... yeah whatever. If you care about your kids, you have to actually pay attention to what movies/games your kids ask for, and then DENY it to them if its not appropriate. If you think the internet is unsafe, DO NOT ALLOW them on there until they are old enough... or go online WITH them under your supervision.
No time to do all that? guess what that means... it means you're a SHITTY parent who shouldn't have had kids in the first place if you don't have time to do RAISE them.
Every human being is the bi-product of genetics (to a lesser degree) and the atmosphere they grow up in (to a much larger degree). You control both. You are responsible for whatever your children become or whatever happens to them.
