As I have said numerous times (not that I’m complaining, we’re both bored enough for this inane argument, considering the time), you don’t need to be a computer expert, just computer literate. And virtually every kid around today, especially in that age bracket, knows their way around a computer. And I’m willing to bet that many, if not most, kids over 10 know a good deal more than their parents.
And, as I have also said more than enough times, it is relatively easy for a child to gain access if their parents are anything less than completely careful. All they need is a device that, whilst filtered and passworded, isn’t being monitored carefully. This can easily happen if there is more than one device in the home. It can be a games console, an old laptop, a phone, virtually anything. Remember, many children will endeavour to gain extra access, especially if they have been given a taste in controlled amounts. Virtually every filter has a fault. And even with a filter, a child can get addicted.
Not to be needlessly confrontational, but you still haven’t justified having internet in the house, nor have you addressed my key points as far as addiction and vigilance is concerned. The only attempted rebuttal has been when you’ve just insisted that ‘kids aren’t experts’, and attempted to assert that there is a foolproof method.
But what you need to realise is the benefits are tiny, if present at all, and the risks are about as large as possible. There isn’t any foolproof way. The only fool is the one who needlessly risks the neshomah of his or her family.
