> Well advise the kids of the dangers. I and most of my friends had unsupervised internet access. We are all doing fine.

Most people who ride in car don't get into an accident. We still wear seatbelts.

> Every kid is getting "addicted"?

Perhaps not the best choice of words from the OP, but look up premature sexualization and psychological trauma.

> No offense, but your kids aren't prepared for the real world. What will they do now that they are adults with no parental supervision. Also, no parent with 5 kids is "responsible".

A comment like that to a stranger can be nothing but offensive. For lack of space or time to use anything more nuanced than crude Freudian terms, the role of the parent is to model the superego for the child while he's too young to understand the consequences of his actions and the dangers of the world.

Existence of it is hardly grounds for mass hysteria - this smacks of 'will somebody please think of the children'.
