Sounds familiar...

  * Has your son asked you to change ISPs?
  * Are you finding programs on your computer that you don't remember installing?
  * Has your child asked for new hardware?
  * Does your child read hacking manuals?
  * How much time does your child spend using the computer each day?
  * Does your son use Quake?
  * Is your son becoming argumentative and surly in his social behaviour?
  * Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"?
  * Has your son radically changed his appearance?
  * Is your son struggling academically?

At first glance, I thought this is what he was quoting. I haven't thought about this page in a long time.

If you read the whole thing it's very clear that it is satire.

It takes a disappointingly close reading though.

I read it very quickly. Thank you for at least restoring a small portion of my faith in humanity.

I suggest you look up Poe's Law. It can be very difficult to tell satire from the real thing when the real thing comes frighteningly close to the satire.
