For kids with parents like that, the internet is probably the least of their problems.

Exactly. Might be the only place they have a semblance of home.

They certainly have other problems however the internet is unique in that it drops the entire world directly in your living room. Even with irresponsible parents zoning laws keep most children away from things like casinos and strip clubs (at least until they can drive) and everyone benefits from community efforts to keep the neighborhood safe.
