This isn't a story or an issue about "cyber" anything.
Yes, computers are pervasive, however, parental control of children by parents, with regard to internet use, is possible, and I believe essential at younger ages, for the very reason you have outlined.

I believe this is definitely a "cyber" issue. The whole story began in cyberland, and continued in cyberland, even though it covered other areas.
