Why aren't parents supervising their children's internet use?

Question

Young people deserve to have sincere questions answered, but I have to guess that many using Yahoo Answers are unsupervised. Too many of the questions and comments posed by (apparently) teens and children are extremely crude and often very cruel and insensitive. They do not know the Answers Rules of Conduct/Community Guidelines. Some even give out personal and contact information about themselves or others!

Answer 1

As for why parents aren't supervising their child's internet use, a partial explanation is the generation gap. Things such as social networking, instant messenagers, blogs (eg. MySpace) and IRC (internet relay chats), did not exist when they were young. Teenagers are more computer savvy than their parents. Unfortunately, parents aren't aware of how dangerous the Internet world can be. Prior to the newspaper headlines of pedophiles stalking minors on MySpace, how many parents were aware that their children had published personal information that was available to anyone with an Internet connection? As for the lewdness of comments on Yahoo! Answers, there are rules banning obscene language. Unfortunately, there is no one to enforce them. Digg and MySpace faced similar problems and found ways to deter such behaviour. MySpace hired a security expert acting like a anti drug czar of MySpace. MySpace did so only after public outcry for better security. Remember, it is the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.

Answer 2

That may be very unhappy. Yes I believe father and mother will have to track web pastime, it is their accountability as a mother or father. I additionally consider in instances like this and wherein women have long past lacking after going to fulfill with any individual they met on-line those matters might were averted with web tracking by means of father and mother or guardians. It's viable many teenagers understand how to delete unique matters and transparent matters so that they would possibly not be noticeable however this lady need to have exhibited any other indicators and a well mother or father could have hooked up a few form of program that could track matters although they're deleted after.

Answer 3

I'm not sure..but I have 3 small children...and as a rule, there will be no Internet in the bedroom. If they want to use the computer, it will be in an open area, supervised. To do anything less is just irresponsible.
