As a parent of two teenage girls, I agree entirely that it is my responsibility to ensure that they are 'safe' on the internet. Both my girls, aged 15 and 13 are well-used to the internet, using it in a constructive way for their studying. As a family, we talk about the dangers of chatrooms, in the same way we would discuss why a film/television programme may or may not be suitable for them to view. Presumably the parents who blame 'the internet' are also those who blame the teachers if their children have learning or behavioural problems. They are our children - it is up to us to guide them to become adults.
