I'm in agreement wth most of what the article says, especially when it deals with Not being afraid, or taking every advantage or opportunity to talk with your children about sex. But I believe so of the recommendations come short or will have no significant impact. For instance, I agree that under no circumstances should a child be glued to the TV, cell phone, or computer all day. This deprives them of exercise and other social activities with family. But whether a child is on the computer for 2hr's or 2 minutes, that's plenty of time for them to see all forbidden stuff they want to see. I believe that one reason that children spend so much time on the internet and watching TV, is because of parent uninvolvement with the child. This is due to two basic reasons. First, some parents are under so much strain with work, (demanding jobs, swing shifts, multiple jobs), trying to provide for a home, that it takes them away from their family. Secondly, some parents who have a little freedom just don't know how to have a relationship with their children, they just send in the other room and don't make time for them. In both of these cases, just like we make time for every thing else, we need to make quality time for our kids. Also, as far as technology, we can take it a step further. Not only limit the time a child stays on the computer or watches TV, but use the parental controls of the devices to monitor what they watch, and block what they don't need to be watching. The good news here is that at least the child is home where you can monitor them. And if all parents would follow this advice, you wouldn't have to worry when they go to their friends house.
The next important fact to me is, Since our government wants to control everything anyway, then they need to do more to regulate what is allowed on TV. They do their best to block out someone saying a curse word (Bleep), Hmmm, so why not "Bleep" inappropiate scenes from TV. How are you detering our youth from getting pregnant at 16, when you're putting shows on TV like "16 And Pregnant", or shows like "5 Pregnant Friends". Nobody on either one of these shows has ever made a reference to the audience or the youth watching to not do what they've done. They should have made an announcement at the end of each show saying, " WARNING, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME."
