    I like... good for this dad. I have three kids and while I won't be traveling to Syria anytime soon, it's nice to see positive reinforcement of non-violence today.

    Most parents simply turn their children loose with whatever device and hope for the best. Having worked for many years in IT security and knowing what's out there, any Internet-connected device the kids use must be used within the presence of an adult at all times. No mobile phones or connected devices in their bedrooms -- ever. When they leave home, they can have them, but until then, I err on the side of caution.
