Who should assume greater responsibility for keeping kids safe online? Law enforcement? Government?  Parents?

Each of these groups has a critical role- government, for example, is certainly an important contributor to promoting online safety, but regulations can only extend so far. Ultimately, parents remain the greatest influence in affecting their children's behavior online.

At last month's FOSI conference, Roger Cochetti  from the Computing Technology Industry Association shared a similar viewpoint. Cochetti compared perceptions of online safety vs. offline safety, asserting that it is common sense that parents should be the ultimate protectors of children in both worlds.

But what exactly can parents do to protect their children in the world of Web 2.0?  AT&T's  Dorothy Atwood shared insights about the tools available to aide parents, such as AT&T's Smart Limits, which allows parents to filter content and monitor online use.  You can learn more about Smart Limits here.
