It's not a good idea to let children go wherever part of the city they want to go. Specially for no-go zones in the city.

Internet should be treated like streets. If you trust a teenager to go outside with certain restrictions of time and places, same should apply for internet.

But a minor who barely reads shouldn't be alone in the streets all day. The same for the Internet. Similar dangers may be involved.
