However even conscientious parents face difficulty in effectively carrying out this role in an age when media and internet are so pervasive.
Pornography has a very bad impact on children and adolescents.
There are many instances where children’s disturbed, aggressive or sexualised behaviour can be traced back to the influence of exposure to pornography or extreme violence on the internet viewed in the home with or
without parental supervision. Some children have been very disturbed by accidental exposures to this kind of material and various studies have come to the following conclusions.
Children are more likely to consider sexual abuse as normal if exposed to pornography.
Children psycho sexual development may be damaged.
The porn industry is unable to regulate itself as the incentive to profit is ultimately more attractive than child welfare.

Have your say!
