It's not about what you teach them. You can teach them whatever you want, it doesn't mean they're going to do it. The only way to stop them from doing it is to hover over them (hence the term helicopter).
Teaching a child isn't about creating robots. I said it earlier in this thread, but you have 18 years of bootcamp to equip your child with all the tools necessary to make, wise, prudent decisions in life. You're not going to be there, hopping out of bushes, wagging your finger at them forever. However, while they are in your charge, they are your resopnsibility to keep safe and secure. You are the network admin.
I do't understand what any of that has to do with this conversation.
