I agree completely.  Whether you live in a mud hut or a mansion, the only
really effective way of protecting your children from pedophiles and other bad
actors is to  have open lines of communications between the parents and
children.  I think that people who live in mud huts do a better job of
this than
people who live in mansions.  The most basic way to do this would be tell the
parents what to look out for when you hand out the laptop.

PS:  Ivan and Simson, this looks great.  I'll have technical comments
after I digest
it a bit more.
