Should 5 year old be online?

[aditd]

5 is a little bit young for the net. 14 I think is to much.
As a parent I think you should let him to know the computer but in portions ( time portions ).

It is quite interesting that safety adverts are now targetted at children aged 5 in this except from BBC:

Children as young as five are being targeted in a new online safety campaign backed by the government.
The campaign uses cartoons to show five to seven-year-olds that people are not always what they seem.
It is thought 80% of children in this age group use the web and one-in-five parents of this age group worry about who their children contact online.
Experts say that by raising awareness of web risks at an early age, children will be better protected.

The crusial question here is, should children that young be online?

Its the parents responsibility to monitor their activity.
