The internet is so easily accessible by children nowadays. With the use of the laptop you can get free internet wifi and you don't even have to set up an account. Therefore children can go online anytime they like and do anything that they want without you even knowing it. This poses a
great risk for children. It's not safe at all for under age children to do anything that they wanted online. Sometimes they can be lure in by predators and they won't know it. At least adult know exactly what to look for but not underage kids.

It's important that parent have a talking session about internet use with their children. After all they can even access the internet with their phone or even download stuff to their ipods. Children grow up fast in this day and age and most know about a lot of things that they shouldn't need to worry about at those ages. We have seen teen getting pregnant at the age of 14 years old. This is kind of young to be having a baby but it's not uncommon nowadays.

Children should focus on their schooling and worrying about being a kid instead of having to be exposing to weird stuff on the net and even weird people. Adults can handle the profanity online but not children. They often don't even understand it a maybe even feel oppressed by it. The information that is available on the web could be too much for your child.
They need to know about it and how to use it at time but you should never let them browse it without your supervision because they can be going to website that are no good for them. Children talking in chat room are not a good thing either. There are plenty of predators waiting for a gullible kid. Most website allow kids to be as old as 13 to enter the site. We do see this on my space. There has been a lot of crime resulting from kids joining services on the net and meeting strangers.

Children that are under 18 years of age are still your responsibilities. You are still their legal guardian and you should watch over them and not only that you're ultimately responsible for their well being and safety. If you allow them to venture too much on their own then you allow them to be at risk.

There are kids that grow up to be addicted to certain things on the net that are not good for their well being at all. Using the internet is a great thing but it could lead to some serious problems. It's important that you really have a talking session with your children and tell them
what you want them to avoid doing.
