I am not yet a parent, but it frustrates me when I hear news stories about parents blaming the government or companies for not protecting their children. This is not to say that each group may not have some responsibility to help create family friendly environments or entertainment, but it is up to the PARENTS to know what their kids are watching or who they are talking too. I don't think it is a perfect system, and there will always be ways for kids to get around it, but the important thing is to be active in a child's life and not let technology do all the babysitting.
