What should be keeping eyes on... (original)

We all know that technology can be either a great and helpful tool for young people, or a very dangerous "sub world" for them as well. Nowadays, children have access to everything on the web, there are ways to rate what they are expected to look at according to their age, however, it is reallly hard to set limits for them not to see inappropriate material. Even though there are websites aimed for children, most of them create profiles in webpages for older users.

What if we ask about parent`s role...
Even though they know that there are many benefits in the internet use, they don`t want to know about the dangers that it carries. Therefore, if they let their children go online without supervision, they need to know about the risks their children are running.
