Of course they do...if there’s one thing I know, it’s that children mimick. As a parent, I don’t trust the internet. I have set up the only internet accessible computer right smack in the middle of the kitchen. I tell my kids, If you are worried about me seeing something you are looking at, then you shouldn’t be looking at it! They are O.K. with it.
Parents really need to be heads up in todays world.
the first amendment requires you to be cognisant of things...if one wants a nannystate one need to be at DU or KOS.
It took some time to find the right software package that they cannot get around, that blocks sites as you set filters and that logs them off as you prescribe the amount of time and days they can use the computer.
Since doing HW on the computer is a necessity as well, until we got this software, we had many fights over the computer time. The one we found best is KidWatch. I believe he was definitely corrupted by seeing the sex he did. He was only 12. We thought we had time.
My son was 16 when he took his life 12-19-09.
Ten pages, eh?
Next thing you know, someone will discover that kids are affected by the content of ads, by the cr@p they see on MTV, by the propaganda the liberal school system dishes out.
It's almost as though kids “learn” from their surroundings and their influences. Thank goodness we have these scientific breakthroughs to inform us of such things.
I wonder if this could anything to do with the NEA and other liberal groups wanting control over schools? Wonder if that could be why there are so many groups pushing for the teaching of “tolerance” in schools?
A friend of my wife just got a divorce last year, and in her bitterness confessed to her just how bad it can be in an adult relationship, not just to kids who are even more susceptible to it.
She knew her husband was watching porn on line and complained about it, but it got worse and worse. I won’t get into the details she told my wife, but he started thinking that what normal people would be disgusted by as just a normal healthy relationship.
From what I have found out porn now is nothing like the stuff made back in the ‘70’s or ‘80’s, they keep pushing boundaries of the extreme. Young kids watching that filth, both girls and boys, will believe that what is shown is what everyone is doing and will be desensitized after a while. It’s a big problem, and most parents who can’t be bothered to cook a meal for their kids sure as heck can’t be bothered to use filters on the internet either.
We use BSecure. www.bsecure.com
I believe it is $69.95 a year for up to 3 computers but it comes with McAfee so you have your antivirus for that price as well. Content is filtered before it gets to your PC so there is not getting around the filter. I love it.
Offline public school exposure to gay porn does not help children either.
