Re: Pornography online: David Cameron to consider 'opt in' plan

Hi, Stuart and Will21st, you seem to be agreeing with my point about parents accepting more responsibility for what their kids view, and games they play, and for that I thank you. If you are a parent, and you don't want your child visiting dubious websites, or playing violent games, then do something about it. Take the trouble to learn about it, and take the appropriate action, don't expect the rest of us to do it for you. If you saw a stranger approaching your kids in a playground, you would intervene, and rightly so. So treat the internet as such, and take steps to protect your kids. The internet is like the rest of the world, it has some incredibly good bits, and some not so good bits. You would (I hope) not send a child to another country with no chaperone, so treat the web the same way, and they will come to no harm. Monitor your childs net activity, as you would their activities outside your home. Please don't make the 'safe' option the default for the rest of us because you can't be bothered putting in a bit of effort to safeguard your children.
