What's going ON ??
Just a note today. Blah...
I am just mulling over the fact that so much hatred is in the world today. So many of our children are "sweet as sugar" around their families and parents, but when on venues which aren't normally/usually inhabited with adults, they turn into little "monsters".
Cusswords fly around like a pod of bees to honey; insults are slung (to other kids as well as adults ?!) like a baseball from the Pro-Pitchers mound; threats are made with gross abandon ("Ill kill you!" "Ill (insert sexually explicit things here) your mom.sister/dad/daughter/son!" etc....). Its reprehensible, disgusting and frankly disheartening.
They truly think they can "get away" with doing/saying these things; that it's OKAY because "everyone does it" and/or "noone is going to do anything"; all because "they CANT DO ANYTHING about it".
And it is sad, because one has to wonder if they're truly like this in real life and if so, WHAT on earth would they EVER have to offer society? Will they ever BE productive/helpful individuals? Is there ANY respect, morals, values in their souls?
Some of these kids seem downright in-human. SOME of them are PROUD of their abuseive, malicious persona's. Some openly BRAG about the nastiest, most reprehensible, dishonest and hurtful things as though they have won the Super Bowl and are displaying their Super Bowl Rings and trophy.
Yes, parents do have a responsibility, both in real life AND while their children are browsing on the internet, to ensure the safety of their children AS WELL AS those they interact with. This means physical, emotional and mental safety must be insured at all times and to the best of their abilities.
So I have to wonder, where are the parents? Where are the "bigwigs" of the internet venues who SHOULD be monitoring for such activites?
Then again, all a parent has to do is swat their childs behind to get the "Im CALLING C.P.S!" response; thanks to the corrupted infrastructure of the so-called Legal "System" these days.
But rather than use the spank, why don't parents just keep their eyes open a bit more and pay attention more? Just because you THINK your child doesn't know how to do something does NOT mean that his or her FRIEND has not shown him things; or, inadvertantly, their school's computer class tought them a few things.
And it would seem that most venues today, be they a physical venue or Internet provided venue, are more concerned about enforcing the loopholes which enable them to "pass the buck" of responsibility onto the USER, rather than take the steps necessary to protect their clients/customers/visitors/users INITIALLY and from the get-go.
How hard is it to do?
Parent takes 3 minutes to install Parental-control software on their computer. Child sits at computer. Parent sits in chair opposite computer and reads/does whatever while computer screen is in plain view at all times. Child leaves computer. Parent takes 2 minutes to view the sites visited and the history of program useage.
Thats 5-8 minutes of "work" to insure your childs safety. AND, the additional time taken while they're on the computer keeps them safe and keeps the parent's mind at ease.
And, if any illicit or easily accesible venues are noted, the parent can report the website. And, the same can be said for a physical venue; child goes to park, child plays with friends, child comes home stoned. parent SHOULD call the City Hall (to report children using their park for such activities) and other authorities.
So, in the meantime I sit back and hear magazines, e-zines, websites, TV Shows, Radio Shows and everyone else cite how our future is dependant on the children of today and also how much parenting has changed from the days of yore.... and how much the children of today have changed (and not for the better)...
And I wonder how come everyone is moving their mouths and pens and cameras, but we're still complaining about the same old things meaning nothing's being done about it?
