Might as well sue the ISP as well. Who else can parents blame for their lack of competence and awareness in what their children are doing in an environment where they can communicate, apparently in an unfiltered manner, with adults ?

It's really funny. Companies have made all sorts of lockdown programs and monitoring software anyone can purchase for any operating system and then there's parents blaming other entities for the fact that they have decided not to use those programs.

We chose not to have kids, but still we are apparently saddled with raising the kids other people chose to have. It's like having a toddler and no door, then your toddler walks into traffic, dies, and you blame the city for killing your toddler. That's UK law for you.

The guy in the article had the child send him 220 pictures right under a mother and father's nose before he was caught. A child who, by the way, was 11, barely a teen. Holy terrible parenting, batman. These people should lose custody immediately.
