Im so sick of hearing how parents are blaming content providers such as myspace and yahoo for allowing sexual predators to conduct their business. IMHO its the parents faul for not monitoring their children. I would love to hear what others think about this.

As long as parents (especially mothers) put their careers first and emphasize quality time rather than quantity time, their children are going to be open to preditors. Today's parents seem to think everyone else is responsible for their children rather than them. I see this in the stores everyday where parents let their children run free and then when the child disappears , they panic and through a fit and I as an employee who's job isn't childcare, have to leave my work to spend time looking for their kids and as a result end up having to stay later at work because I have fallen behind in my real job responsibilities. Parents have no idea what their kids are doing nowadays. Children have so little suppervision nowadays , that they can do anything. Mothers need to start puting their children first and their careers last.

I totally agree. If the parents cared enough to monitor what thier children do on the internet and who they're talking to (maybe even restirict them from certain sites for thier own saftey) then I believe that there would be nothing happening between their children and sexual predators. Also if parents would talk to their children more on what to look for and be suspicious of and tell them not to give out personal information about themselves I believe that the children would be much safer also because they would be more likely to not give out personal information and things such as that.

My mom went off the deep end after she had kid # 3. She screamed at me through my entire childhood. FOR EVERYTHING. I moved several states away the first chance I got. She spent my teenage years shrieking at me to get out of her house and now she complains I don't visit enough. She's also mentally rewritten our history to pretend that we were a happy family. Now that I'm older, I actually kind of feel sorry for her. But I'm still a little bitter towards her. I remember all the nasty things she said to me. I made a point to. But whatever, I let her live with her delusions sometimes because I can afford to be the bigger person. I still don't visit that much though. Just bide your time. One day, you will be bigger than her, smarter than her, and dependent upon her for nothing. Then she can be as crazy as she wants and it wont be able to touch you.

When parents stay together and love their kids the old fashioned way, loving discipline, high moral standards, will they start parenting again. Dinners or at least one meal together a day is also another alternative. At first it will be difficult to open up your children but once you have established the fact that you are serious about your family unit they will warm up to the idea and then you will be a family and parents will be able to parent again. Parents have to be committed first to family.

The most important place in the house is the kitchen table. Families that share thoughts, ideas, views and everyday life and support each other never need to worry about all the evil in the world. It's important to stay on top of things everyday. What could posibly be more important than that? Your stupid job? Your car? Nothing is more important than your family.

Amen brother. I have two teen-agers and I made it known from day one that I will monitor ALL of their on-line activity. They have developed excellent habits as a result and are extremely net savvy.

I wasn't going to answer this because as long as people ignore God's rules and desire for His people, they will always look for someone else to blame (it's called pride and lazyness). I guess people forgot that there were problems similar to this since the beginning of time. And that book .... the Bible... can lead you to harmony in you home and life.
