&gt;If I could wave a magic wand, I&#x27;d turn this situation--wherein parents have to cope with the relationship between their kids and the web--to one where parents can do something about it.<p>They already can do something about it. They can actually teach their children how the world works, how to react to various situations, why blindly believing strangers is a bad idea, and maybe even (<i>gasp</i>) limit what their children are permitted to access on the internet!  Shocking ideas, I know.<p>It is not a government&#x27;s job to raise children - nor should it ever be.
