    I don't think being an adult is only about being fully developed, but being developed enough that your parents shouldn't have to take responsibility for your actions anymore. A child behaving badly, committing crime or doing stupid things is the parents' fault. When it's adults doing those things it's their own fault. That does not mean young adults can't make any mistakes. It just means their parents aren't the ones responsible for allowing those mistakes to happen.

    In a hypothetical world where 18-year-olds are still considered children, if their parents are going to be held responsible for the well being of their children then they should be given the right to monitor their kid's internet activities to keep them safe from predators. I don't know any 18 to 24-year-olds who would be willing to submit to that. It's hard enough to monitor younger teenagers who already at that age seek individuality, privacy and independence.
