I don't get it. So someone let 11 yo kid use internet unmonitored and it's the Internet's fault? Isn't it up to parents to know when their kid can go on the internet alone?
Spoken like a true non-parent and someone who forgot about everything they got away with as a youth.
I didn't have internet until I was able to take responsibility for what I do with it. Not because my parents were so smart but because it simply wasn't available where I lived. The only thing that affected me negatively for life was religion and I totally believe my parents are responsible, not the bible.
I think I should be able to sue the direct connect pedophile site.
And if pedophile facetimes your kid you're going to sue Apple?
Might as well sue the ISP as well. Who else can parents blame for their lack of competence and awareness in what their children are doing in an environment where they can communicate, apparently in an unfiltered manner, with adults ?
It's really funny. Companies have made all sorts of lockdown programs and monitoring software anyone can purchase for any operating system and then there's parents blaming other entities for the fact that they have decided not to use those programs.
We chose not to have kids, but still we are apparently saddled with raising the kids other people chose to have. It's like having a toddler and no door, then your toddler walks into traffic, dies, and you blame the city for killing your toddler. That's UK law for you.
The guy in the article had the child send him 220 pictures right under a mother and father's nose before he was caught. A child who, by the way, was 11, barely a teen. Holy terrible parenting, batman. These people should lose custody immediately.
Sue the computer screen manufacturer! They literally displayed the images!
