How can that be classed as "blatant scaremongering"?

read the last three paragraphs also it is scaremongering as i said from a parents point of view maybe it would mean amore cautious approach im just against an eventual possibility of censorship of the net by parents

excuse me for thinking ahead

I did not prevent my teens from accessing the internet at all.I just made sure that the only PC with access is in the living room where everyone can see what you are doing.

I also asked very searching questions as to where anyone was going and who they were meeting and I always asked for addresses and phone numbers.

great thats the way i like to see it go or if need be some privacy be allowed for net access in the bedroom ?

I've never however listened to all the hysteria as I don't believe in a nanny state.I firmly believe that parents MUST accept responsibilty if their children go to meet a stranger that they have only 'met' in a chatroom.

agreed
