Internet without any barriers for kids?

    Today I want to touch subject of internet as a "place", whose anyone can enter without any barriers.
    Litteraly ANYONE. If I'm five, can sit high enough to see computer and have ability of holding mouse and, of course, can read even if a little, I have opportunity to become a part of e-community.
    Why however, you think, is it so important?
     Like I said, virtual community have any rules, nothing make you stop. So what users can do to don't get lost in this space?
    We, older users, are able to decide and get distance from what we hear and see in net. Also sometimes, what would we ignore.
    But there, in World Wide Web, are creatures, whom can't defend themselves.
    Yes - I talking about kids, group of users, whom haven't this capacity to know that they will take precautions to make sure, that nothing wrong happend to them - nobody cheat to them and trick them out to get theirs adress, password, or persuade some child to do something he/she normally won't do.
    Every day many people are robbed thanks to hackers in just couple of minutes. Some jealous girl showing other up. Some bright-mind put virus to computers of bully, whom taunted him in "real life". I even won't tell how easy is today to impersonate.

                                                         
    Lets imagine, that some ten years old girl is just surfing the net.
    How much easier will she became victim of phishing or cyber-bulling? What will she do, if that happend? How will she react?
    Some of you will rolling your eyes now, but let be serious: how many olders kids, teenagers, even mature people, broke down because of things like that?


    It makes me to ask most intruging, to me, question.
    How long, would children have to use computer under controling eyes of their mom or dad to be ready do it themselves?
    Will Parental Controle be enough?
                            

                                                Save internet for your child
