Children should stay off the internet. They clog up the tubes.
I'd wager the chances a child could be psychologically harmed or deprived of normal human contact with strangers because of a parent's anxiety disorder are higher than the chances a child will come into contact with a sexual predator.
Also these fears often ignore the fact that most abuse of children is at the hands of a parent, relative or family friend, someone known to the child, rather than from a stranger.
There is a problem with that:
If you spend your time worrying about the boogy-man in every shadow you miss the roses in the sun.
If you prevent your children from growing or learning just because of a fear you deprive them of not only a childhood but also the lessons that will protect them when they are older.
It's a form of child abuse that will hopefully one day become part of the law. In reality the chances of a child being harmed by a predator is still lower than being struck by lightening, lightening is actually the highest threat to a childs life, so if you really want to protect them best teach them to avoid lightening otherwise you are stealing away their childhood (thus running the risk of turning them into future predators or worse) for something that will likely never happen.
