Clearly they had no idea what their daughter was doing because now she's dead.

You can't watch them every second, and they hide shit. They only show you the benign stuff and lie about everything else. I think we're over parenting as it is, we used to just let kids run around outside till dinner time. You have to teach them the best you can and hope they don't do anything too permanent. Kinda weeds out the dumb ones.

I agree but you gotta be careful. There's a balance between not parenting and parenting too much that's hard to achieve but important.

I don't really care if kids accidentally stumble on this shit, especially if they are in any sort of functional social group so someone is around to point out how fucking stupid it is. But you as the parent should be monitoring their activity.

I think you gotta let kids online because you don't have much choice there in this day and age. But you gotta let them have spaces they want to actually be in, like games and shit so they don't bother with this gay ass bullshit. Then you gotta keep an eye on their usage and history. They'll hide it if you are too strict. If you aren't they won't.

Some parents are super strict on online games and shit bit hey, if your kid is playing a game online they aren't looking at porn or going down rabbit holes.

It's ironic that parents prefer having their kids inside on their screens because it's 'safer'. At least a kid can recognize the creepy ass man trying to befriend them in the playground. They have no chance on the interwebs.
