i'd like to see the law hold parents responsible. you don't leave children unsupervised in public places - your kids can be taken away for that. i see the net as the same thing - a public place. and it should remain a public place. when i was a teenager, parents were held legally responsible for their kids and i have no problem with that. if they can't handle the simple task of turning on filters, their kids shouldn't be browing online except in yahooligans or aol kids.

imo webmasters shouldn't have to be so responsible for someone else's kids that they are held responsible even if they have the proper code so ANY and EVERY filtering software will block their sites and there's also a warning page up. i absolutely feel that children should NOT be exposed to porn, violence, hate speech, religious controversy or a large number of other things.

but why aren't parents responsible for supervising their children? i was. i checked out kids shows before i let my son watch them and checked out movies to make sure they were okay for him. it can be done and should be done.

besides, look how that situation was handled with DEVELISH. the german child protection people contacted him over an issue and he fixed it. here, they build a case for years while kids keep seeing whatever it is and then try and throw you in jail.

that argues a lack of the spirit of what protecting children is all about.
