"We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows
that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act. "

Internet Cafes- Not safe for children

In India, internet centers are just like cafe centers... which is good to learn more about the fast growing generation, but the problem is teenagers specially young kids are using these internet centers to view porn sites... most of the internet centers are having customers of this age group only. There is no control. Like as of my knowledge in usa, we have fire wall or else parental controls. But in India it's like open to every one...
With the craze for online chatting and the Internet somewhat diminished in the last year or so.
Some times they might have been chatting with unknown strangers, who may ask them to come to a lonely place and later any kind of worst thing can happen. Some people even chatting with girl's names to attract young people and then trap them.
Some of these cafes have taken to screening X-rated movies on the computer and shockingly most of the customers are under aged children. With a small cabin, a computer to yourself and practically no possibility of anyone snooping on you, the cafe gives these surfers an environment which is about as private as it can get.
Small wonder that erotica so easily and cheaply available is drawing young people in hordes to these cafes. The rates are as low as Rs 10 for an hour of viewing and Rs 15 for two hours.
One day I am chatting with a friend, who is sitting in one of the cyber cafes and with his first message, there is a popup adult website link attached automatically, because of the virus on that computer from where he is chatting.
Some one should take action to prevent these issues...
Are these Internet cafes taking enough precautions to prevent children from accessing restricted sites?
As we know even adults are not allowed to see these kind of adult movies or pictures, what should be the right process to block the adult websites?
How do we track and report the abuse of a corrupted cyber café owner?
