QUOTE:_______________ Many sites offer parents silly rules to help people deal with the problem. Parents are uncomfortable with suggestions like ‘participate more in your kid’s life’, ‘become more tech savvy’ or ‘get kids to be honest, communicate with them’! ________________ Just to touch on this, I think we need to address the underlying problem that it is often easier for kids to communicate with friends (or even strangers) online than to actually talk to their parents. How can we improve the relationship between parents and children so that kids don't need to turn to the internet with their personal problems? For example Are self-help books such as "7 habits for highly effective families", useful, accessible, and relevant to children and teens? What other resources are there? Any suggestions? Hi.

Yes kids should have a say, and are probably the best ones to ask what advice and precautions they will take, but in the end, is it a futile battle? Won't there always be those who slip through and unfortunately...lie. So in addition to prevention, accountability of the corporations for not having adequate security measures, but also for parents for keeping an eye on their young children.
