Sure you are correct that parents can't be there hovering at every moment to correct their kid everytime they make a mistake. At this point, it is easier to put controls that actually work on any internet connected device that you give them than any shenanigans that could get up to outside of supervision. Give them a a tablet with parental controls. It will be a better control than when they go to the corner and buy drugs or whatever is the real life equivalent. It's never been easier for a parent to control their child's online consumption than now and it will only get better. The offline risks aren't really changing the same way.
