We're agreeing but in different ways. Your case is one specific example of learning not to do with audio equipment you didn't know anything about.
I was saying in a broad sense kids usually don't make the right choices. Sure, they might know what decision to make in a specific case, but children are subjective listerners. Sometimes they listen to what you say and sometimes they don't. They only hear what they really want to hear.
Hence, good, solid decision making skills are the by product of several years of making the wrong decisions and learning the lessons that come with them.

Obviously parenting plays a huge part in this. I will wager that most of the victims have poor relationships with their parents, or have trouble communicating with them. I don't know what parent would not make some effort to educate their children about the dangers of the internet.. |
