Sorry, but I simply do not believe that it is our role to play parents to children on the Internet.
It is my belief that parents who let their children use the Internet need to be supervising what those children are doing. They need to know if their children are on LiveJournal and on this community. It is not hard to pull up an Internet history log or to insist that a child only uses the computer while in the room with the parent. There is a sad lack of parental responsibility for their children's behavior these days, and too many lazy parents want websites or screenwriters or whatever to play parents to their children.
The only person I am willing to play parent to is my Golden Retriever. :)
SWG is a group for adults or older children with their parents' permission and supervision. It has always been that way, and we are very careful so that people--especially children--are not exposed unwittingly to adult content. I do not believe that it is right to punish authors by restricting what they can share simply because lazy parents are not willing to monitor what their children view on the Internet.
