what kind of idiot parent lets an underage child on the internet unrestricted.

I'm 35, and I have been online pretty much unrestricted since I'm 11/12ish. But yes, I saw some shits.

I'm a few years older than you, and when we were kids our parents didn't understand what the internet is and what the implications were.

Parents today don't have the luxury of claiming ignorance. The vast majority of people understand that the internet is full of dangers for kids (and everyone really).

I agree, the internet was still quite young in those days, I'm quite sure I wont be so open with internet access with my children (they are 7 and 2).

Ironicly same here. I did have to bypass restrictions put on me but i feel i earned to right to see fucked shit online by doing that.
