In yet another study about how kids use the Internet, a recent survey revealed that 11% of kids 11-18 years old admitted to having sexually explicit chat sessions. 25% admitted to visiting adult web sites and 10% revealed that they have had meetings with people they first met online.
Almost half the children surveyed admitted that they lie to their parents about what they are doing online and tell their parents they are working on homework as a cover to disguise their activities.
Moreover, the study also concluded that 87% of parents believe that they were completely aware of what content their kids were accessing on the Internet and were confident their kids would not engage in any activities that the parents disapproved of.
