"It's hardly as easy the comments above suggest."

Well said. I think the commenters who regularly tell people how to parent are not parents themselves.

You can't just cut off internet access and "do something with your kids". And we can't nanny them all the time they are online because we have a life, other kids, housework, a job etc. So you need to talk to them, yes, but you can't supervise 100% and yes they know how to find a VPN, for instance to enable snapchat via the school wifi.

I am not advocating mandatory government content filters and I don't have a simple solution but it's just not that simple.
