If parents were active participants in their children's lives and didn't let them surf the internet from behind a closed bedroom door, the idea of filtering would be unneeded.

The parents wouldn't drop their kids into the middle of an adult bookstore or a bar. Why do they think that dumping them on the internet is any different?

Agreed.
