Should kids under 13 have access to unsupervised internet?

Joshua Rodriguez

Summary of the problem

Should kids under 13 have access to unsupervised Internet. In my Opinion I believe that kids shouldn’t due to the danger of the whole internet and all that lurks on the web. A lot of kids are allowed to access the internet without supervision which is a bad problem, without monitoring, kids could find something inappropriate. In 2019 a kid was on Youtube watching videos and then out of nowhere a video started playing by a hacker and it was telling him to do things to his parents and he almost followed through with it until one day his mom heard the noise and decided to check it out and from there she found out and decided to call the cops and the hacker/man was eventually caught and is now serving multiple years

Avoiding Dangerous Situations When Online

The video basically told us how to be safe from the internet, if you get invited to events or to places by a complete stranger and you plan to go, that you should not because it could be a whole set up to kidnap you or even worse. Making friends on the internet could be dangerous too because you really don't know who is behind the screen, could be someone the same age as you, older than you looking to hurt or get stuff from you.

Your opinion

In my opinion, every parent should monitor their children's screentime even if they are a teen because who knows what could be happening in their lives. Internet usage should be limited to kids as well due to the fact that it gets really addictive especially to younger people so thats why you should take their devices away from them for a while. Have them be with you outside, join a sport, or even just help around the houses so their mind doesn't get destroyed and all they want to do is just be stuck on the internet all day.
