As a whole bans are not effective. However they should be upheld in small measures. For the life of me I can’t understand how a parent can allow a kid to have a cellphone or ipod or ipad or computer with filtered internet! If adults fall in and can’t control their better horas to look at the wrong things you think a kid who is brimming with curiosity and raging hormones will control him/herself?
I really think that giving children unfiltered internet is a form of child abuse and extremely irresponsible.
