All the parents want to provide their kids with an environment where he/she is less prone to know the things before he/she is of the right age. Modern day cyber space is full of content and websites that are only suited for users of an appropriate age group.

Any concerned parent would protect its child to access profane and adult content before he/she actually celebrate the right birthday. You don’t want your 12 year old daughter to be watching some obscene scene of a movie. Neither do you want your 15 year old son to access a pornographic website on his tablet or laptop.
