A Dissolute Enterprise

The media including the makers of violent video games are corrupting our society. Youth are exposed to a constant stream of wickedness right through video screens that no previous generation had to witness. Open advocacy for marijuana use now prevails. There is little in the way of parental control on Internet access that a savvy teenager can not defeat, so short of watching their charges every waking minute where the children could be exposed on even so-called "smart phones", there is no foolproof way to shield the young from pornography, amazingly realistic, bloody, and vivid violence, and even solicitation by pedophiles. The best suggestions that I can offer is to limit screen time in the home and only permit use in a room where a parent is there to supervise, but this all goes by the wayside, if your child visits with another whose parents are more lax than you.
