We
want you to enjoy your experience on our website,
but we will not condone child pornography, and we
will do our part to prevent children from accessing this
site.
Remember: All the labels in the world don't matter if
your child is accessing the
web from a computer outside of your home, or has learned
how to bypass the filters.
A computer is not a babysitter: If your child is viewing
pornography online,
before you start pointing fingers and blaming adult
sites, ask yourself this question:
"Where were you and what were you doing while your child
was on the web?"
As a parent, it is ultimately YOUR responsibility to
monitor your child's
activity on the web. If you're a parent, then take
the responsibility to get
involved with your child's activities, especially when
they are online. |
