I worry about this for my kids. Many times i have posted on parenting forums asking how to deal with internet usage. Everyone is so nonchalant about it, but I am terrified. All their friends will have unfiltered access to the internet in their pockets, at all times of day. Playing videogames requires unfiltered interaction with real people half the time. 

This isn't 2000 anymore with the family computer in the living room for public use. I really don't know what to do. 


MY sister is a high school principal and the issues with kids taking pic and videos of sex and crimes and then emailing it to the whole school is pervasive. The bullying is at another level. Girls being raped while drunk and then the whole school finding out about it and watching it. Girls sending their boyfriends naked pics and that being sent to people. It's a fucking nightmare. 

And yet I'm insane for wanting to tell parents that I don't want my 7 year old going on the internet during playdates. Is that really unreasonable?
