NO I don't think kids should be banned from the internet. YES I do think parents need to be more responsible in watching their children when they are on the intenet. Teach kids how to be responsible on the internet & there shouldn't be a problem. You & your line of thinking scares me GREATLY!!! You seem to constantly want to ban somebody from doing something. This is twice in 2 days you've wanted to take somebody's rights away. Personally, I think YOU need to be banned from thinking & expressing your views as I find them offensive & rude.

Even though i know that internet is very useful to the students in their studies. I prefer that they are prohibited from using internet. Matured sites are easy to access and other bad websites. It's for the protection of the innocent mind.

I think that children should still be allowed to use the internet but they need to be supervised by an adult at all times. I think the adult should actually do the surfing for them to make sure that they do not go into sites that are not appropriate for them. It would be nice to keep them away from the internet but it is part of the world these days. Schools and companies have them, so they will still have access to them as they grow older.

well everything in this world had a good and a evil effect but we should teach and make the know the real fact that what is bad for them and what is good. now we can use the power of internet for learning make new and good things, we can complete our projects, do homeworks and internet really helps us to be connected to our frends and all. but still it has a evil side that is increasing effect prono site on the childrens , so we should make then aware that that isn't good for them. so i would say we should not completely prohibite them from internet but yaa we can tell them what are dos and don'ts on internet

That's like killing all children because they might grow up to be murderers. Banning it would stop them from going to those sites, but it kills a lot of research, games, even the iTunes store.
