that's exactly how I feel.

I have 2 boys 12 & 9. Just like the fact that there are some video games and movies that are for adults only, they know that some things on the internet are for adults only. We've had lots of discussions about what they are and aren't allowed to look at, and if they find anything questionable they know to ask about it. Filters are great, but it's better in the long run to teach kids how to protect themselves because we won't always be around to do it.
