But the advantages, in my opinion, greatly outweigh the disadvantages. Your kids walk into a mall. They could get mugged, raped, or killed. They sign on to the net, they could run into some smut. But they d have to search for it.
Net homicides tend to be low, and even suicides are down.
If only the real world was always so lucky. Then there was that young teen boy who hung himself after receiving email stating his girlfriend was breaking up with him. But that isn t your every day thing. Once people stop being afraid, confused, and ignorant, the Internet will grow even larger. As it grows it will become more diverse.
