I think there is a limit to what parents can know even if they monitor the kids, let me use myself as an example, When I was in secondary school, I watched bf with my friends in class, how are my parent supposed to know about that?
One day I borrowed a blue film disc from my friend to watch when my parent go to work, how are they supposed to figure that out?
I could have advance to bringing girls home when they are not around if that bad stuff was really on my mind but after few times of watching the bf, I lost interest...
but you made a point, when a child is still very young, there are some habit that the parent can stop him from doing
When we start to grow up parents can't monitor us fully and that's why I don't blame them because it's our choice and we also learn how to hide things in such a age. I got your point.🙂
