Not at all.  Taken as a whole, parents of homeschooled students supervise 
their children much more closely than do those who send their children to 
public or private schools.  Furthermore, they are teaching their children 
right from wrong, and no one else has the opportunity to consistently 
contradict that teaching.  (This is not to say that other parents don't teach 
their children right from wrong, but that no one else in the homeschooled 
child's life has enough influence to successfully counteract the values his 
parents have taught him.)
 NR> If the resources are there, children will take advantage,
Not necessarily.  Children who have their parents' wholesome values instilled 
in them day in and day out for 10+ years have usually internalized those 
values and will choose *not* to access questionable material, whether on the 
Internet, T.V., library, bookstores, or wherever.
... Those who refuse to learn from the past are condemned to repeat it.
