In the first place, you're still assuming all kinds of bad things about a parent who may want to use this, including 'neglect'. There's no basis for that assumption at all. In fact, using an app like this can be could be another way for a parent to express his protection of his children from things he would consider harmful to them, while still expanding their exposure to books he might not otherwise be comfortable allowing them to read.
In the second place I'm just astonished at the amount of scorn and bad intentions being heaped upon people who just don't like swearing in books. An awful lot of heat is being generated here, and for very little reason. We really don't need to control everyone, and it isn't a judgement on us if we think differently - so let's let them think differently too.
What I'm objecting to here is the lack of live and let live, and the assumptions of all kinds of bad things about people we don't even know. It's the opposite of liberal.
Methinks.
