Parental Rights In Myspace: Reconceptualizing The State’S Parens Patriae Role In The Digital Age, Sheerin N. Shahinpoor Aug 2008

Parental Rights In Myspace: Reconceptualizing The State’S Parens Patriae Role In The Digital Age, Sheerin N. Shahinpoor

Sheerin N. Shahinpoor

The law grants parents a great deal of leeway in their child-rearing decisions, including choices in the context of their children’s internet use. But there is a harm about which many parents and state and federal governments are unaware: reputational harm.

Family Law In The Twenty-First Century: An Annotated Bibliography, Nancy Levit
