Essay help on kids and supervised internet?

Question

so basically, i have to write an essay explaining why i am for or against kids 16 and under being supervised when they use the internet (it could also be parental control)... So i kind of am against because it gives no privacy or anything when a parent or a suppervisor is just looking at what you are doing, but i am ok with parental control... what do you think? can you give me any suggestions?

Answer 1

My kids are too young for the internet really but I think parents should monitor usage. Perhaps parental controls are the best option so some websites are blocked but kids can still socialize with people they know from school online.

I just hear so many stories of predators online and "suicide" websites and such. I'll be very nervous when my kids are on the internet.

Answer 2

I agree with you. I use parental controls for the little kids. They each get a profile on the computer and a password and each has personalized settings

Answer 3

Well the internet is a very scary thing it is a breeding ground for pedophiles. If a child is under 14 i think they should be monitored. the rates of children being kidnapped and sexually molested and raped has risen in the past 10-15 years that is the same time span within children have become more used to technology. I'm not saying that the parents should be over the childs shoulder but an occasional glance at what there child is doing can't hurt anything.
