While browsing the internet we read some reports about a game that piqued our curiosity. Pot Farm! Is it possible? And yet, with a search on Facebook, we discovered the game that is freely available to anyone who has an account on the social network. It is a browser game that is provided free to a point of course, as like all games on the social network, they provide many more paid tools.
What's the point of it though? This particular game teaches kids how to grow cannabis plants, but also how to trade them. Imagine your child growing marijuana, selling their crop, buying and selling seeds, etc. The game advertises that it has over 6 million players.

A child's choice of such a game should cause serious concern for every parent. Engaging a child in such a game that promotes completely illegal acts (fortunately, it does not contain violence), leads to them learning from someone who is not yet able to judge or distinguish between good and evil.
It should be mentioned that the game has no age restriction, and according to Facebook's terms of use, anyone aged 13 and over can "enjoy" the services it offers.
What good could the assimilation of illegal behavior, which is the basis of this game, through the involvement of a child offer them? The game's developers probably don't have children, otherwise they would have thought better of the possibility of familiarizing them with delinquent behaviors.
If you are a parent, it would be a good idea to pay attention to where your child is surfing and learn more about your children's safety on the Internet. Monitoring the time of use and the permitted content on the Internet, as a preventive measure and education on security issues, could help a lot.
There are several programs and plug-ins that you can use to block a child from entering inappropriate websites. Below we list a few:
For our well-known Firefox you can use the ProCon plugin
MyKidsBrowser, the browser that gives you complete control over your child's internet use.
K9 Web Protection is a free program that offers protection against inappropriate internet content as well as spyware and phishing sites.
