Parents need to know what it is to surf the Net, what chat groups are, what's on some of these sites. . . . In some ways this may allay their fears because at least you know what you're dealing with. However, some chat rooms and Web sites are geared to explicit images or adult sexual banter and are not for teens. As with many teen-age activities, parents can't be there to monitor 24 hours a day. That caused some concern for us.
Parents know that's true.
It's not like it was when I was a kid.
