Pornography has No Place on a Child's Computer - Block Pornography from Your Home

Posted: Aug 06, 2009 | Views: 106 |

The most basic precaution a parent must take is to block pornography that might flash onto a child’s PC screen even without a targeted search having been preformed. This means that your child might innocently browse the internet for homework material or for entertainment, yet still be delivered an explicit set of x-rated images as a result of Google and other search engines picking up specific phrases.

All children are inquisitive: it is part of their development process. Give a child a set of naughty pictures to look at or a harmless page of information on some age related topic and they will choose to look at the unsuitable images every single time. It is not because they are bad- it is because they are uninformed about the depth of harm such images can inflict on a young mind and because they are naturally drawn to investigate forbidden material.

Good quality blocking software will block porn and safeguard a child’s online environment. Not to the extent that absolutely no guidelines are required from a parent, but at least to provide a safe framework and give parents the kind of peace of mind that comes from knowing their child is not going to be bombarded with disgusting pictures because nobody could be bothered to install effective blocking software. A porn blocker will allow your child to browse within the limitations allowed by the software installed.

Access is limited to sites that contain the kind of material the parent deems suitable and it is even possible for a parent or guardian to set up an email advice message so that if forbidden sites are being viewed on a home computer, an email might be received at the parent’s work computer advising on the situation. Although a minority of parents continue to resist using software to monitor their children’s online activities, most sensible and well informed adults in a freely acknowledge the duty of care that prompts responsible action where their children’s internet exposure is concerned. Block pornography in your home and allow your children the safety to use the internet as the valuable and educational tool it can be; not an addictive gateway to distorted ideas of sexuality and relationships.

    Many parents feel that they should allow their children complete privacy in their online activities. They may liken it to sneaking a peak at a personal diary or listening in to a phone call. But the Internet presents a very different paradigm and should not be treated with the same laissez fair approach as you may take with a journal or private conversations.

    It is rare today to find a 10 year old child who has NOT been exposed to pornography online. It is rare for a day to go by without another story in the paper of a family destroyed by debt accumulated in online gambling. Statistics tell us that the age of rapists is decreasing, there are more sexual abuse cases among teens, compulsive gambling is on the rise, and 50% of divorces are said to be somehow connected to pornography addiction.
