Misuse of electronic media - Problems and solutions

It is a very important responsibility of parents to keep the moral education of the kids in mind, they should not give them things that acquaint and familiarize them with indecency.  Parents should safeguard their eyes from the nude visuals of the TV.  If TV is being used for educational or religious purposes, then the parents should make sincere efforts to reduce and block its harmful effects.  The parents should proactively block those channels and cut out those programs which show and promote indecency.

In the same way, the kids should be protected from the ill-effects of the internet.  Having an internet connection in the house without any pressing reason is harmful for the morality and character of the kids.  If at all an internet connection is necessary, then it should be properly secured so that the children don’t use without the supervision of the parents.  If the kids are raised in proper Islamic fashion, by the time they grow up, they will be so strong morally that even when alone they will not go towards anything indecent.  If they are faced with indecency, they will turn away from it.

It is a responsibility of those who Muslims who are associated with the different electronic media that they should use them as per Islamic precepts.  They should not give children and their subordinates all these facilities and leave them unsupervised.
