Internet safety laws have been in existence since the mid 1990's. Since the inception of the internet, a lot has changed. As is the case with many parenting tactics, how we monitor our children is a hotly debated issue. Children are exposed to many dangers online such as bullying, sexual images, sexual messages, predators, and images, videos, links that can be harmful or inappropriate for children underage. The problem the internet poses is that there is really no way to age-restrict content. If it is on the web, you can access it no matter your age.
The good news is that practicing internet safety, informing parents and students is working! Check out this Slideshare from Anne Collier for a brief history including data and statistics to support it.
