The real bottom line is that until PARENTS start to take responsibility NOTHING is going to keep kids away from the sites we build. We, as responsible and ethical webmasters, can put in all the protections and cautions and self-imposed filters we can - but until PARENTS step up and start using these tools nothing is going to happen positively.
I have no kids, but trust me if I did their access to the internet would be closesly monitored and not ONCE would they be able to get online without supervision. They are CHILDREN afterall. Anyone that thinks they are capable of making responsible decisions is an idiot. Kids are like Siberian Husky's they will get into anything and everything they possibly can - NO is merely an invitation to mischief. Unless parents finally get a grip on reality and start policing their offspring, and as long as the legislature keeps coddling the parents for their own stupidity it's going to be ugly for us who market sex for a living.
