I do.
I could replace the word 'mouse' in your statement with any child's toy and it make it sound even more asinine. My children (11, 7) have their own shared pc and they use it almost daily, completely unsupervised, and yes- it is online. (Their browser's homepage is Google!) Does this make me and my wife bad parents, since we obviously are not spending every waking moment with our kids?

I totally agree..my son has been online since he was 6. once he got to be 12 or 13 he really had free reign .. the difference is WE have open conversations on what he sees when he surfs.. where he goes.. who he talks to.. and what the ramafications are.. 30 years ago.. it was boys (and girls) under the blanket with their father's payboy or oui or national geographic (ok 40 years ago) today it's pretty much out from under the blankets.. but WE as parents should have OPEN and honest conversations about all the "hard" subjects such as sex, drugs, violence, bullying, etc.. because of the industry WE are in it should be all the easier.
