There was a time parents would look in jeans pockets, schoolbags, but parential checks have 'improved' to include online behaviour. Interesting the list of terrible finds. seems just what a lot of adults also use.
"UK police deny responsibility for poster urging parents to report kids for using Kali Linux
Updated: Using Discord, too, is apparently a warning sign that your child is turning into a naughty hacker.
The UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) has publicly said it has nothing to do with a misleading poster designed to put fear into the hearts of parents and urge them to call the police if their children are using Kali Linux.
The poster, made public by Twitter user @g_IW, has reportedly been distributed by local authorities on behalf of the West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit (WMROCU).
It appears the creators of the poster are aiming to inform parents of what dubious software to look out for if they suspect their children are up to no good on the computer. While a good and reasonable intention, the disinformation on the poster, as described by @g_IW, is "staggering."
Virtual machines, the Tor Browser, Kali Linux, WiFi Pineapple, Discord, and Metasploit are all deemed terrible finds and the poster urges parents to call the cops "so we can give advice and engage them into positive diversions." "
