One of my new pet peves is the new and growing types of calls dealing with kids and the Internet.
I get this call that someone emailed their kid a porn picture, or another kid threatened thier kid on AOL Instant Messenger, or someone from around the world was talking dirty to their kid.
The parents are always outraged and want me to take immediate action. The problem is that they don't have any idea that they are the ones to blame.
What gets my goat is that these parents let their kid loose on the Internet; like it's the kid's babysitter. I find the computer in some dark corner or in the kid's room. It's like a parent giving a kid a porno mag and then complaining to us that they looked at the pages with the porn.
I feel that the Internet is full of information, but it is also a dangerous place for a kid. Kids have no business surfing the net unsupervised. Parents need to take more caution and responsibility.
