Reply To: How to regulate who your children are friends with

newbee, children can be negatively influenced by inappropriate friends.

Orthodox friends.

To take an obvious example, though there are many more examples that are less obvious and more subtle. If the friend has a TV or internet access and your child goes to his home, your child may be exposed to the TV or unfiltered internet. Even if he doesn’t go to that child’s home, that child may relay his TV-influenced “hashkafos” to your child.
