Any teenager can be a cyberattacker now, parents warned

  >parents warned It's not really the point of the article (some of these folks in the story are adults) but I was thinking about this. I always wonder about these warnings to parents, if they have any use. Are any parents who would hear / listen to such a warning have kids at who are seriously at risk? As a parent I hear other parents talk about various risks, and I always think "Uh ... yeah your kid is the last kid I think would do that." and so on. The parents who are less present / have other challenges / aren't connected with their kids, they aren't bringing these things up.

    Sure they have use - as a way to whip up a "moral panic". The parents of the kids who are likely to do this aren't the intended audience. It's other, uptight, morally upstanding citizens who are the target.
