“Adult social networking sites attract young users”

It is true that internet is a helpful source of information. However, all its users must be aware of its dangers as well. One of the problems of the use of internet is young users, especially children. According to The Guardian newspaper, children, who are under no supervision of their parents, are at potential risk because they get into adult networking sites. It is common knowledge that false people are on the internet trying to take advantage of innocent people, especially children. And the worst thing is that very young users feel very attracted by the internet and by making things that adults do. In the end, institutions, parents, teachers or anyone who would like to give ideas on this topic, should be willing to make changes and look after their children, and children in general too. All people should be conscientious about this huge topic because more than a family topic, it is a social one.

That's such a big truth!! It's incredible and terrible at the same time to see what children do at home with no parental control. Internet is not the only threat but also TV and movies... Last Friday I was baby sitting an 11th-year-old child who insisted on watching movies that I wouldn't even watch ever!! disgusting movies that are not attractive to me at all but he was curious, you know...
What a big responsibility have we got now, as future teachers AND parents!!!
Nice posting!

I totally agree with BERBE (what a

I better start checking really closely in whatever thing my bro likes to do in the computer, and whichever websites he frequently goes to..you really never know.

So, Do you think the Internet should have restricted zones? How could they be enforced? Any ideas?
