Parents need to take the lead in knowing what their child is doing. Hiding behind a screen name and saying anything that comes to mind about anyone is morally and ethically wrong. As an educator I had to face a parent regarding what her daughter was writing online. The parent told me her daughter would never do anything like that. I began to mention very personal things about the woman's own family and she was in disbelef. Finally, I pulled out an envelope with some pages from her daughter's website and began reading and showing her. Defending her daughter still took place despite the proof of what she had written. Parents really do need to be responsible for their children and what they are doing. More and more parental responsbilities are being relegated to the schools. It is time for parents to take responsibility for their children!
