[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the 14 should be forbidden from all electronics until she is 18, and presumably able to use them responsibly.  No computer access, no cell phone, etc.

Right now, she's proven that she is too immature and irresponsible to handle online access.  It's too bad there's no court order to "keep her safe" from herself.  One that puts it on HER, not someone else.[/quote]

This is my post.  I have a 14 year old son, and a 14 year old niece.

I really do think it would be great to see a court imposed consequence for getting herself in such a situation.  If she can't handle the internet responsibly yet, then she shouldn't be allowed to use it.  Don't leave the onus on parents who would most likely let up at some point, make it legal.

If the laws are about protecting the minor, (and I know they are.. I do realize that) then they need to do that partially with a consequence that suits the time we are in.

She would get the message I would think, and perhaps her friends would as well.  It is NOT a game.[/quote]
