SAN FRANCISCO, June 7 (UPI) -- U.S. parents say they are more concerned about what their kids see online than what they watch on television.
A survey by Common Sense Media found that most parents are conflicted about the Internet -- intrigued by its power to educate yet fearful of what their children might wander into -- the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Forty-percent of the parents who responded to the survey said they "actively" spend a few days a week seeking information about their children's online behavior, the newspaper said.
"It's a love-hate relationship parents have with the Internet," said Jim Steyer, founder of the non-partisan non-profit group, which is launching an Internet safety campaign.
In the next few weeks, television networks and Internet portals are expected to air Common Sense Media's suggestions to parents on how to monitor their children's media consumption, the newspaper said.
