I can’t imagine any parent allowing a child to use a chainsaw, a power drill, a car, or any other potentially dangerous item without supervision. So how do these children have access to Facebook without supervision?

The problem is we aren’t teaching children to use the tools available on the internet. We are teaching them to stay away. So when they don’t stay away, they have no idea how to use them responsibly.

So basically, we are assuming that the children will use these things eventually. Therefore the real issue is that we need to teach the parents about the dangers and how to properly supervise their children. If a parent knows that their child will definitely use a chainsaw, they will certainly find an expert to supervise them and teach them how to operate it safely. The parents themselves will probably pay attention to the experts as well so that they can supervise when the expert is not around.
