A Dallas mother wants to change an obscure Texas law that allows parents to show their young children hardcore pornography.
Crystal Buckner claims her ex-husband made their two little girls watch graphic sex videos, but Buckner says the law protects him from being prosecuted.

WTH? This guy is a sicko.
Why the hell does he have custody, anyways?
She married the man and had 2-kids with him and she didn’t know he was a bad man? Some things can’t be fixed.
This is an example of why divorce and porn are so destructive of our culture. It is not just your private business.
The guy is twisted but there is more to this story than anybody is telling. I want to know the “back story”!
Why indeed does he have custody?
It’s not uncommon for one parent to make up horror stories about their ex - especially when they’re fighting over custody. There’s no reason to jump to conclusions about either of these individuals since we don’t have all the facts.
well that is true.
This is disgusting, but I still do not want the government to tell me what I can or can not teach to my children.
Something isn't right. The story says that the father has custody, but the link in the story to the AG's opinion says the girls were visiting their father.
ok, but I think hardcore porn is a poor choice of teaching tool
That’s a good question for you and me but if porn is legal and okay for adults why is it bad for kids?
Is it established as fact that he did it?
Exactly, if you listened to my husbands ex wife she’d tell you lies about everything under the sun about us. She’s tried it all until the police don’t believe her anymore.
Besides, this is a huge slippary slope...once you pass a limitation, who gets to say what’s appropriate material.
There are already child abuse statutes that include exposing the children to sexually explicit acts/material here.
correct, in this case, if there is a law that ‘allows’ parents to show porn, we should remove that.
I think we have to have common sense and not think teaching pornography or the virgin birth of Christ to be equally protected by the constitution. If the government of Texas go after parents making their kids watch porn, we don’t make a fuss. If they go after parents teaching creation, we make a fuss.
Porn is legal for adults. But I would not agree that it is okay for adults. Alcohol is legal for adults but we have laws to prevent parents from giving their children alcohol.
That does not mean that I want people arrested for letting their children have a sip of wine from time to time. But I do not want it legal for parents to have keg parties for underage kids.
Porn is ideas not physical substances being put in the body. Limiting thought another matter no matter how repugnant it may be.
“She married the man and had 2-kids with him and she didn’t know he was a bad man? Some things can’t be fixed.”
My aunt always told me that some men change after marriage. They put on one face before marriage....then show their true face after wards....
Thats outrgeous, only teachers have the right to show porn to kids.
For those of you not from TX or never having been divorced with kids in TX, let me clarify something odd about this story.
First of all, TX law caters to the mother. For the mother not to have custody, she either voluntarily gave up custody or was a really bad abusive/neglectful mother.
It took me almost 5 years to get custody of my boys from their abusive mother. She was even arrested and found guilty of child abuse, but as one attorney told me, in TX the courts believe the mother should have the kids no matter what, even if she is a prostitute or a drug dealer. I even know of a case in which a mother took a 2-yr old child with her to turn tricks and the dad, who was very clean-cut, still could not get custody.
Also, according to national research, some sort of sexual abuse is the most common accusation a mother makes against a father in order to gain custody. Parental alienation is the second most common accusation.
There is certainly more to this story than the mother is letting on. She lost custody for a very good reason.
Not showing kids porn is “limiting thought”?? You spend too much time googling lolita sites dude.
Its very unfortunate but there are FReepers who think this is fine and dandy
In the general sense I meant. You have to be careful about this because everyone agrees what ‘hardcore porn’ is.
NO, not that I am aware of. I correct my statement. His FORMER wife is saying that he is “twisted”.
Your comment: Porn is ideas not physical substances being put in the body. Limiting thought another matter no matter how repugnant it may be.
So is this abuse or is it just a learning experience to you?
My first thought...when was the last time your Aunt got layed? :)
There is nothing general about it. The ONLY reason people would be showing this to kids is to sexualize the kids and then have sex with them. perverts.

I agree. But I was talking about the law in question not this particular case.
really? That’s sad.
Porn is fine for adults that want to indulge, in the privacy of their own home.
But kids are kids, and should be able to be kids and maintain their innocence. Porn is not acceptable for kids.
yes!!! That is just wrong.
Lettuce decide for ourselves by posting links to this so-called “porn”!
The same question with alcohol and cigarettes.
The American Library Ass. does to. They insist there is no such varmint as "age appropriate" materials.
Porn is also fine in libraries apparently.
So then it’s okay for a kid to see a 30 second clip.
Yep, the same question. If it’s okay for adults, why can’t kids do it?
well not to me! I said privacy of your home, not libraries, car DVD player ect.
ALA have always been pervs and wackos
You’re not kidding about Texas law... I went after my ex on several occasions because the kids were missing massive amounts of school. At one point, when interviewed by Social Services, my youngest son told them that he did not go to school “because he didn’t have any clean clothes to wear.” I tried in vain for several years to get custody of my kids because of the neglect of their education by my ex.

“Desks will create a more discrete way to watch porn in libraries”
Stay out of Vegas then lol!
what's the matter with some of you?
you can't even call evil, evil anymore...you've got to find some excuse for the perp, in this case the "father" or you have to rely on "privacy" issues.....
the mom now has custody of her three dtrs, thank God....
which of you mothers out there would want your husband waking up your young dtrs and having them watch threesome porn on the computer with him?.....
just what was he DOING while watching this?.....
I guess its the time talked about in the bible...where evil is called good, and good, evil.....
“what’s the matter with some of you?”
Good question, I was wondering the same thing.
Don’t rely on social services. Most of those workers are divorced women that have an ax to grind with all men (because they still hate their ex) and so they generally help the mothers and condemn the fathers. I once had a male CPS worker that found my ex guilty of abuse. He was immediately reassigned and then later fired. Fortunately the ruling was still documented and valid. Unfortunately, CPS didn’t see a need to do anything about it.
The best thing to do it document everything. Video or audio record every conversation, visit, and meeting with your ex or anybody that deals with your kids (like CPS, teachers, etc). In TX, you don’t have to let them know that you are recording them and it can be used as evidence in court. Also, get them into counseling if possible. Contact Justice for Children in Houston. They might be able to provide resources or advice about getting custody.
At the time, I was living in Virginia, then Florida, while she and my kids were in Texas, so I only got to see them a couple of times a year. We even tried to get an emergency custody hearing here in Florida when they came to visit one time, but no dice.
It’s too late now, unfortunately... both boys are grown, and neither one finished high school.
