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.
