I vote for this one and always have. Back in the first 'nanny state' 
project when Senator Dick was the Minister and EFA was campaigning to 
use a sensible approach to the internet bogeyman of porn, the phrase 
I used was 'teachable moment'. That is the role of parents, 
information facilitators like librarians, teachers, and possibly 
peers. The 16 y.o.'s idea to provide a forum for kids to help each 
other was I thought a pretty good one.
