It’s also another example of how new technologies are moving us toward an increasingly pervasive culture of surveillance.

I'm a parent of 4 grown kids and I think this is a really bad idea.

Liberal myth #1 ... that children have rights to free speech and privacy that trump a parent's right to monitor what they do and say and to be the final authority on what is best for them. Liberal hypocrites are the first to say that if parents don't like the overwhelming amount of sleaze on TV and the internet being thrown at their children, then they should be proactive and monitor what their children are doing. Then they create laws that block parents from doing just that, including allowing children to murder their babies without parents even being notified. Mere words are insufficient to describe the depth of disgust I have for what liberalism has done to society and to my country.

Hasselmenot --- The law being proposed doesn't recommend that all parents do this, nor would most parents even need to do this. Do you think that good parenting will always produce great kids 100% of the time? I don't know about you, but when I was growing up, I saw a lot of kids with good parents and stable families that were simply wild and rebelious in nature, who picked the wrong friends to hang out with, who routinely did things they were told not to do; etc. Some of the monitoring measures in this law may be entirely appropriate for those kids that were simply born with the incorrigible gene. You were fortunate ..... other parents are not so fortunate, and they need to be able to deal with it.

Con myth #1.... All rights are considered sacred. Reality, your rights are only sacred as long as they conform to the rights fascist ideology.
