I agree. I wouldn't sign my son up a "kids" version of BookCrossing to "protect" him from "unsuitable" books. I'd much rather supervise his activity on the actual site then send him to a dumned down site. For the moment he's 2 1/2 and I don't let him browse the internet at all because I consider him too young but that is my decision. > The problem is, who would determine what is "suitable?" Every parent has different ideas about what is right for their child; equally important: every child is different, with different needs. In addition it especially odd indeed for one to throw teens in with children. They are not that close in personal needs or development however close in age and what is perfectly acceptable for and appealing to a 15 year old is often not for a 10 year old. > I find it most disturbing when people lose sight of the ideas that a) these are people we are talking about and should be treated as such and b) it does not seem proper to take parenting out of the hands of the parents in deeming what is suitable for their child and possibly even taking it to a level some would consider censorship. ------------------------ Yahoo!
