By watching pornography at a young age, children get a “skewed view” of sex. Like this twelve year old boy, who had unlimited access to adult internet sides. Thereby this young boy forced a nine-year-old girl to perform a sex act on him. The Judge gave him a warning, that he should not regard pornography as a “guide” on how to behave sexually, instead of sending him to jail. There is a political debate going on, as to whether the Government should force internet providers to adopt an “opt-in” system. This means parents would have to remove a default block on watching pornography on their home computers, thereby preventing their children to watch adult images.
It is very
sad that children have access to adult internet sides. Parents are responsible that
their children cannot watch this on the internet or the television. I think the
government should decide to adopt an “opt-in” system, to protect the children whose
parents do not block the internet themselves. This made me think, I have got
three children and I have secured my television but not the internet. Maybe it
is time to do this, but how? The boy in the article will be kept under
supervision, I think this is the right decision, because he is only fourteen
years old.

Parents are of course always responsible. I don't know though about governmental interference with an "opt-in" system. What will be next? Parents must be learned to take their responsibilities.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's a very sad story, especially for the 9 year old girl who maybe has a trauma for life! but it is quite easy to put a "parental advisory" on your computers! so let everybody do that and make sure that the computer is in an open place in the house, so you can always see what your children are doing on the computer!
