Many studies have been done on the risk parents consider to be on the
internet and what safety procedure have been taken for kids safe
surfing for online. Apart from few countries like Netherlands, Sweden
and Denmark, when comparing to rules on TV-watching it seems parents
are more likely to set rules for what kids are allowed to watch and do.
We seem to know the limits that are for TV materials more often than we
think of online limits.

Maybe I is due to we have been told
about this in some campaigns much more often than we have heard
campaigns about safe surfing. People seem to know the rating system for
movies, e.g. the green for allowed the yellow for not for under 12
years and red for under 16. USA and Europe have different system both
movies but people seem to be more in touch with it than they are in
touch with general concern on the internet.

Saying that could
give us a false knowledge of we are setting rules, but even though in
most countries we are more likely to be setting rules for the TV than
the computer surfing most parents are not setting rules enough rules
for TV or the internet. We could say with TV-watching most rules are
being prepared for us and therefore it is much simpler place to set
rules for, because the TV-network will air banned movies later at night
and will tell us if it is gore, sex and violence. But when it comes to
sites there are millions of sites and they are available up all hours
of the day.

Therefore it is of course much more important to set
rules and monitor the risks online and we cannot trust the site owners
of the world to set the limits for us. It seem a little scary we not
just have fewer rules on the internet than the TV because what we are
facing is a lots more dangerous playground than our tv set.

Most
parents today grew up with TV and know what it is about and many of
those same parents are just learning to surf online themselves, because
they did not grew up with the internet, as it is so new. So parents are
less concern because it is a new playground for them, it is positive
technology and we are just starting to wake up to the negative and
harmful part of the internet.

The risk is online and we need to
know of them with hateful website, violent and pornographic material
and not to mentioned growing concern of pedophiles online preying on
children. When will we wake up and see it is a harmful place to have
rules and safety procedures online to protect our kids form online
threats? Hopefully we are today!
