I think such makes the child more vulnerable to the child predators. Horrible stuff. Be blessed dear man.

I agree. It is difficult to raise children any time but the more information increases the harder it is. Lots of pray, hugs, and times out I guess. LOL Be blessed sweetie.

Yes but some of the internet stuff makes Playboy look like Sunday School material. I think this would be so dangerous for children. As great as the internet is it also is a dangerous place.

That is part of the problem. Some of the Internet searches only ask if you are 18 the child types in yes and there they go. This could be truly dangerous forever. Parenting gets harder and harder.

I believe good parents have a host of enemies to fight, outside influences from children not so well watched perhaps as your own who stir up the excitement and yours etc., check it out. The internet is a vast place of adventure for them. This is a shame when parents do all they can and still danger lurks everywhere.

I agree with you. Those outside your jurisdiction of authority are the dangers. God bless all you parents now, it is a hard job, always has been.

I grew up with four older brothers, and unfortunately, I found their

Playboys and other magazines when I was just a kid...I wish I hadn't...I'm sure it did me no good.

I had no idea! But I can't say that I'm surprised at all. I believe some parents are so involved in their own doings and drama that they don't think about what their kids are doing. My daughter controls what my grandchildren watch and we do the same when they visit. But, what about sleepovers or visits with friends in their homes? You can't keep them at home 24/7 until they are grown. Or, can you? Hmmmm. . . :-)

It's pretty shocking isn't it
We're trying our best to give our children space and yet remind them of where the boundaries lie. Unfortunately the challenge to cross those boundaries does get stronger and stronger with age but I didn't realise children so young were leaping across.

Justi - I think porn is the last thing they should think to watch at that age but outside influences gets children into an inquisitive state. How awful isn't it?

I sure hope so. I talked with my daughter and she says she believes it is safe at her house. The t.v. does not let her on channels of this sort without she disables the barrier and says so when she tries it.

Justi, there are parent controls to block that kind of thing from children. I'm not sure they work all that well, but I know my son has them on his TV. So far, so good. (We think)

We have totally left God out of our culture as He once was. This saddens me but I know it is the time we are in. God bless you lady.

unfortunately so many children aren't lucky like your grandkids and are on their own at a very young age, kids at 16 having babies, and they put it on tv, glamorize the fact they are having babies, but it also shows how hard it really is to have a child, they have to put there teen years on hold, so sad, what happened to family values
