Is the Internet making us indifferent?

I wonder if their parents might have been a little more attentive if their genitals were at risk for their kid's bad behavior.

It's not that I wish to make light of the crime. But maybe we, as a society, need to make Parenting a high-school course.

Amen to that!!! The Internet has a plethora of benefits, but if misused can be equally as detrimental. Too many parents expect someone else (or thing such as Internet or video games or television) to look after their kids!!! Why have children if you don't plan to be involved with their lives!?!

How about making laws that require parents to be more responsible for their children's actions????

Oz, I don't know all of the facts in your friends' son's case, so I'm unsure as to how this one in particular would be affected if such laws were passed.....
