Parents are quick to squelch discussion about proper parenting... because when logic says "doing x, y, and z makes you an idiot of a parent" and they, themselves, do x, y, or z, they have to ignore that logic and try to change the subject.
It's like bringing up the idiocy of smoking in front of kids. Everyone in the room is ok with someone saying, "smoking in front of your kids is not only terribly bad for their health, but makes it look acceptable for them to do" until you get the one parent who DOES smoke in front of their kids, and then you're an asshole for "telling someone how to raise their kids". lol
Considering the entire negative point of the opening post was parents giving their kids unrestricted, unsupervised, limitless internet access on a personal computer, I'm curious how anyone can justify to themselves that "doing what you can" would not include keeping all computer access to central areas of the home where they can't be doing shit like this.

I'm beginning to fall under the impression that the point of this thread was to satisfy some narcissistic need you have to tell others how wrong they are. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that fall under the tent of trolling? One can try to conceal bait in paragraph upon paragraph of pedantic meanderings, but what still remains is that you're yet again hoping to bait someone into your manipulative arguments.
Your attacks on parenting have grown stale and truthfully, are becoming caricatures of themselves.
Your arguments are as sensical as any of us here saying that if anybody dies under your care, it's because you're a lousy paramedic. There will be no excuse for this to occur as it will be obvious that you didnt' think of every measure possible to help them. That makes you a bad paramedic. I'm sure you'll gladly concede that.
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that what you seek is not discussion, but a game of gotcha in which you always get to win.
