“parents can’t control it”
Is that like not being able to control one’s car turning into a McDonald’s drive through? I had no problem controlling what my daughter watched, and she didn’t eat fast food either. This needs an adjective added to read “lazy parents can’t control it.” I’m blessed with a lovely daughter with modesty who started college at 13 and has social skills many would covet. As for the whole article, a “captain obvious” alert would apply for thinking people, but I’m guessing he’s a libtard and it’s aimed at libtards.
Funny, that’s the exact response you’d get from conservative thinking people if this were an attack on fast food’s deleterious effects on children. But since we’re talking about sex, “somebody should do something”.
If you have been able to shield your child from the 360 degrees, 24/7 sexual saturation happening in this culture...opportunistically aimed at kids, who are notoriously impressionable and the most fast and loose with their cash....Then you must be a modern-day miracle worker.
However:
If you have other pursuits in your life—like work for instance, that distract from your ability to stand watch over every “incoming” at your child—and if your child fraternizes with other children-—school pals for instance—you are naive in the extreme if you believe you can “control” your child’s exposure to today’s increasingly inappropriate content, visuals and experience.
You may have had some very outside the curve experience in your particular situation, but to imply “lazy” parents are too blame for not thwarting the avalanche of porn and damaging influence raining down upon families today is skewed and arrogant. We are fighting a tsunami. You are out of touch with the vast majority’s experience.
I venture there will be more to report in your scenario over time. You are still human, like the rest of us. Careful what you so pompously proclaim.
Such smugness is offputting.
Did you also control all of your child’s friends?
