My parents were vigilant in monitoring what I was up to online - often much to my horror
For many parents these days, the issue of kids and technology is a constant balance.
But one thing seems to be certain - it's an issue parents are having to deal with increasingly earlier.
Just last week, primary school principals spoke out about the need for parents to supervise their child's internet access with news that more and more kids, even at primary school age, are using social media.
By doing so they're opening themselves up to all manner of problems.
I remember when as a teen I was first introduced to the world of the internet.
At 15 or 16 I was still probably not mature enough to be dealing with the carry-on in chat rooms - the closest thing we had to social media.
