You tell your kids what we told ours.

You don't get a phone until you're 16.

If you must go on the internet, you will use the PC in the living room and I will be sitting next to you the whole time.

You can have a laptop/tablet when you can afford to buy it for yourself.

Your PlayStation/Nintendo/Xbox will be plugged in to the living room TV. You will play the games we purchase for you, you will ask permission to play and will cease playing immediately when told to. You will not have access to multiplayer unless it is with kids your own age whose parents we know and trust.

It is, first and foremost, the responsibility of parents to care for their children. When they fail to do so is whe government should step in. If kids get into

trouble, or if bad things happen to them, their parents should be punished (Madeleine McCanns' parents should have been locked up and their other kids taken from them as well as the kids' disappearance being fully investigated.)

Of course lethal injections or a six-foot drop through a trapdoor for paedophiles would be a step i the right direction!
