Comment on Omegle Was Forced to Shut Down by a Lawsuit From a Sexual Abuse Survivor
Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 10 months agoThis is a bad analogy, a child can’t wander into a shady bar, late at night, while at home, in their room, while doing what they can to hide their activities from their parents, in the way that going on an inappropriate website can.

If they’re going on inappropriate websites then that’s their problem. I’m sure any good parent would teach their kid about actions having consequences…
I mean, realistically we all did, unless you grew up during time when there was no internet.
The thing online that traumatizes me the most is the thought that people turn off kid’s internet instead of teaching them how to deal with strangers properly, because believe it or not, outside world is a lot more scary than internet.
A 11 year old can know to stop replying if someone asks their home address online, same kid can get kidnapped and beaten it out of them in the real world.

Shield a kid from the horrors of the world, the you’ll have a dumb adult in he future.
Teach your kids how to spot danger and how to handle all the world’s bullshit, then you’ll have a smart adult in the future.
Don’t baby your kids please.

This does not get into the fine details of what happened. They could have had something going, deceitfully or not, that convinced them they had no other choice. Anyway, that wasn’t the point I was making. I was pointing out that a child sneaking away to a shady bar in the middle of the night has much more serious implications of negligence than a kid going to an inappropriate website.
