Sorry for this edit to the question. I should point out where it came from. Someone had asked a question whether or not this site is suitable for kids. I suggested that we should all be careful what we say, and speak respectfully and appropriately to one another at all times, and then we wouldn't have to worry who's reading our comments and viewing the images we post.

But of course, the poster of the original question felt that it is a parents job to keep their kids off this site because it at times contains inappropriate material.

I realize this is true to a great extent, but some parents don't monitor what their kids do on the internet. Should we take this into account? Who's job is it to care for children?

    The government. All children are the government's property. Don't believe me? Just raise 'your' kids the way you see fit and ignore government mandates. I figure it'll take about six months, tops, for somebody from DFACS to be around to collect their property.

    It's the parent's but sadly the children are left unattended to view worse things than SodaHead.

    That would be wonderful. I don't use language on the internet that would not be suitable for children but others do sometimes (well, a lot of times). I have unfriended even relatives on FB for using profanity and FB just keeps getting worse just like SH.

    It's us as a parent to monitor what thier kid sees on any sight, I'm not going to watch what I say here because, parents don't take care of their own, haha like I really make alot of noise any way, but it's my right as an Adult to say what I feel on here

    Parents should monitor their childrens internet activities ultimately. Whenever I see *pervs* on here being inappropiate directly towards SHs who I know are teens, I will step in and say something.

    "It's yours you idiot."

    If anyone is disturbed by some of the materials presented here that they actually need parental supervision then they shouldn't be using this site in the first place.

    There's nothing honorable about sexually explicit images? I could debate on that. ;)

    Of course, you don't behave like you're in a dance club when you're at church, and you bloody as hell should know better than to curse infront of your grandmother and kids. If you're doing that then you're just a plain jackass.

    With each situation you conduct yourself accordingly; that said, I think I'm wise enough to know when to bring out the horns and when to have a decent picnic. ^_^

    When they`re at school the school does have a responsibility for all the children. Unfortunately you as a parent can not protect them from everything, they are going to hear + see things. My boys are grown up now but i always talked to them, that`s all you can do, you have to spend time on your kids + advise them etc.

    Yes, i talked to my boys about everything. I also explained how important school was + opportunities missed don`t come around again. When they were teens i talked to them about making mistakes that they`d pay for for a very long time + have a detrimental affect on their whole life. My boys worked hard at school + have done very well for themselves. It is Not easy being a parent but we brought them into the world so we have to do the Best we can for them.

    Sadly,responsible people like myself-and I am sure you also-already pay through the nose
    via taxes,etc, to support those feckless,irresponsible individuals who often have large numbers of children and who 'neither work nor want' but live on welfare benefits.

    In the end, it's the parents' responsibility. Trying to foist if off on someone else is lazy parenting. If a kid wants to come on this site, it's the parent's job to look at it, explore it, and see if it's okay for their kid.

    Granted, by the age most sites allow for (12 or 13) a kid is USUALLY already aware of, and exposed to, foul language and some forms of sexual content. *shrug* Any younger than that? Its the parents' fault, not ours, if their 8 year old (who shouldn't be on this site) runs across foul language or rude behavior. They're not parenting then. And they shouldn't be upset with anyone on this site for what their child saw. They should blame ONLY THEMSELVES for the issue.

    That said, I think we should be treating each other with more respect.

    Or at least civility.

    I won't hold my breath, though. This is teh internets. And teh internets are hazardous waters.

    I believe that the primary responsibility belongs to the parents. A secondary responsibility falls onto friends, relatives, and people who make a choice to be good role models, like teachers.

    I believe that we should all be respectful. But, knowing that people will be disrespectful (and use language you find inappropriate), it then becomes your responsibility to decide how willing you are to possibly expose your children to that.

    While ultimitely it is the parents job to be responsible for our children by setting a good example, there are those who don't.

    I still do not act inappropriate in front of my children, all who are adults. At the same time I do think about others. Regardless if I have the same or different views I try to keep my thoughts in check.

    The same way I keep my eyes open and atch out for my friends children is how I keep my eyes open on this site. I want to set a good example for those who read my comments.
