Like your great grandparents feared exposing their children to radio, your grandparents feared exposure theirs to TV, your parents feted exposure you to video/computer games ... more likely than not the next generation will turn out OK despite exposure to whatever you fear.

Radio doesn't rewire your brain. TV can, but access is easily controlled.

I don't think this is something you can legislate away.
And whatever happened to government not interfering in the way we bring up our kids?

Maybe they should ban kids from going to church/mosque/temple until they're old enough to make an educated decision for themselves. Religion rewires the brain, too.
I was only joking

I used to worry about how to protect the boy from the internet. Now I worry about how to protect the internet from the boy.

As long as they're Christian, they'll be okay. As for the Jews, those have a shot at being one of the 144,000 preachers from the 12 Tribes.
The Muslims? Convert or die. Eternally.
