In all this porn-no-porn hullabaloo...

strangely, no one's talking about how easy access to porn is affecting kids and adolescents...It is a school teacher's worst nightmare come true when she sees a child in her class (going down in some cases to class 4 or 5 even) intent on watching porn on the cellphone - in most cases even without understanding what is happening. I don't even want to talk about how it affects teens and young adults. What happens to these children's minds? Or am I just fretting? Where parents are involved in the lives of their children, it's fine, they'll know how to deal with it, but what about the children who grow up with hardly any adult/parental influence? I'm not saying that banning has ever solved any problem, but to my mind, what it does is that it highlights an issue that needs to be looked at and dealt with.
