Yes, bunny hunting is a problem. This is the reason why:
"pint-size 11- and 12-year-olds, and his warnings are about the threats lurking in their laptops, gaming devices and smartphones —"
NO 11 or 12 year old should have unsupervised laptop (internet) access, period. It stays in the main area of the house, password protected. Same goes for Playstations (internet access). Many, many parents give their kids tv, laptops, playstations, smart phones -- all in the kids room - and think nothing of it. Dumb. NO child needs a smartphone. Period. If the parents insist that they have a phone (don't get me started) an old school flip phone (yes they are out there) with no internet access. Even with that, texting is a problem. Parents are giving KIDS all this access/freedom that adults have but fail to understand that they are KIDS and are not prepared to handle it now.
Supervise the crap out of their online activity, yank the plug if you find them doing/engaging in shit they shouldn't be, trust your gut and be nosy and invasive if necessary.
