Internet Safety

I talked with a parent about internet safety in her home and she said she tries to keep all of the rules outlined in the strength of youth pamphlet. She knew about Elder Ballard's talk and she was very adamant about teaching her children about internet safety. She said she has many firewalls up to protect her children but still bad things will get through so she said she is continually telling them to come to her if they do see anything bad. She also does not allow any videos or DVDS in her home that have bad language or anything that drives away the spirit. She said she was glad we were learning about internet safety and the evils of the media in school, she said she wishes she could have been educated about how to teach her children. 

In contrast I talked with a peer who felt that nothing was wrong with watching bad media if you didn't end up swearing and doing those things yourself. This was after I showed him the talk. How does that contrast with what the apostles say compared to what he thought was right? Completely different. Anything with bad language or ungodliness drives the spirit away, so it should be applied in every individual's life.
