I think kids should go and catch worms, chase bugs, rescue homeless kittens, play in the mud, and come home carrying precious friendships with their peers. Not spend time texting and sitting on social media.

Kids are fucking stupid these days. Sometimes I want to beat their parents with paperweight because they encourage bullshit behavior and then hit them once for being idiots.

I wouldnt monitor. Even kids want something to themselves. Especially if we're talking teens here. I had internet and phone access when I turned 13. Most kids had such access around that age. Now a days, I imagine that age is even younger due to the advancements and availability of technology. My job as a parent would be to guide them, not keep tabs on every aspect of their lives. They can learn things on their own.
And if you disagree, okay. This is my opinion

Hello no it's not wrong. I still put my daughter in check for her social media content and she's 21 years old. I'd be a sorry ass parent to allow her to shoot herself in the foot by displaying gross misconduct over social media.

It depends on the child I guess, I was messaging men in man chat rooms from a young age, I was naive back then but with social media culture on the rise I predict the youth will have a strong hold over the net with the new generation of programmers......I think the older generation will have more to fear from the younger in terms of being played and manipulated on the net....I could be wrong but it seems the older gen are always getting catfished and the younger are dealing with cyber bullying and image problems

Yes. If I had kids I'd monitor and block them from as much as possible. Don't think I don't know. Me and a friend use to go to the cable station back when wifi first became a thing and would save pictures from porn sites to our Sony PSP's. It's even easier today ffs. All you need is a modern cell phone and a location that gets at least 2g. They make parental controls for everything just for thst reason, but it doesn't stop their friends from doing it.
I guess it really is hopeless trying to raise kids in today's world. I'd pray for a nerdy kid with great grades and little interest in sex.

Ya, if your kid is ugly, you have nothing to worry about.... unless she/he is so unfortunate, they're willing to do anything for attention from the opposite sex. Another reason, are parents who use and on social media so much to even give a damn to notice what their kids are up to. Sometimes its easier to say..oh, i trust him/her, when you're the reason why your kids are fucked up. Parent your children!

When I say, "you" in nearly all of my posts ....... I am referring to people as a whole.
You're suppose to teach your kids how to be adults ...... not run around behind them picking up the pieces and merely reacting.
to have to block a child, or teenager from doing wht you consider is wrong, or what you believe could hurt them ..... means you never provided them with the information so that they can make the right judgment calls on their own.
that's not helping them, that's hurting them. If you go running to their social media and cells to monitor/control what they are doing, then it means you have failed them as a parent, because it means they don't know that it's wrong to do.
if they don't know that it's wrong ..... then you failed at your job of being a parent.
Success can only be gained with the realization of failure. If you don't give them the opportunity to make the right call, then you set them up for failure.
I'm glad you hold the same views. And your children will be glad, too, later when they're grown.

there have been countless studies done to prove that even though you tell your kids not to talk to strangers.... THEY DO when put in that situation. The stranger who is trying to lure your child, is not going to come across as a threat
that' s why parents should be aware of what their kids are doing
