Kids need Net-literate parents: Study

"Parents who lack Internet skills could be damaging their children's education and job prospects," reports CNET, citing the just-released final report of the study "UK Children Go Online" at the London School of Economics. There are reams of arresting findings in this study (e.g., 46% of UK 9-to-19-year-olds have given out personal info online, 57% have run across online porn, 30% have "made an online acquaintance"), but much of the coverage zoomed in on this one about parents, the first connection I've seen a study make between parental Net literacy and children's futures. Eighteen percent of parents surveyed said "they don't know how to help their children use the Internet safely," study co-author Sonia Livingstone said. Here are the BBC and Silicon.com.
