Responiblity for Internet Safety

The biggest problem with students using the internet properly is that a lot of adults don't know enough about computers. Most kids know more about computers then some parents. Parents are getting their kids to help them when the computer breaks. This is a huge problem.

Sure there are lots of protective software out there but most of it can be easily bi pasted or shut down. This software and programing to protect kids should be used in all schools. But the best way to protect kids is to put the responsibility in there hands as well. Talk to them about why they shouldn't engage in inappropriate activities online. Encourage them to be upstanding moral citizens and good people.

Too much blame is being thrown around for issues such as this these days and not enough responsibility is being picked up. No one single person or organization is to blame here. Everyone needs to do there part; parents, teachers, businesses, government, etc. So before people start pointing fingers at others they should make sure they are doing their part first.
