Smallish post 6

There are many things a person can do to protect themselves from inappropriate content on the internet.  From an antivirus to a PC's location, there is an infinite list of actions that someone can take to help protect themselves.  But I believe the most important thing I can do to protect myself is to gain knowledge.  As a parent I think about what I'm going to do to protect my son from all the bad things that are out there on the internet.  I'll have rules and policies like most parents have, but more importantly make sure that he knows right from wrong and how to handle those situations where inappropriate content  comes on the screen.  If I can lay that foundation of right and wrong with him the rules and policies become less useful because he will understand the spirit of the law, not just the letter of the law.  That will be when I feel that my son is protected.
