Warn young children about pornography, say heads

As a result of the ease with which young children can access the internet officials, parents and schools are discussing what the best ways are of protecting children from the potential danger of internet pornography.

Some teachers are in favor of having open conversations with young children about internet pornography, since so many of them have already may be in danger of exposure and should be able to cope with the distorted view of relationships and sexuality which pornography presents.

Parents often turn a blind eye to the problem, and even set up facebook accounts for children way under the of fourteen. Nevertheless 83% of parents have trust that schools will inform and educate their children well regarding the perils of internet pornography.

Opinion:

I think it is a great idea for young children to get educated about the potential danger of pornography.  Children who are given information regarding the fact that there are people out there who may have an unhealthy attitude regarding sex may be able to protect themselves better from sexual abuse. Of course information regarding deviant sexual behavior should be presented in an appropriate way for the age group, by professionals who understand facts without scaring the children. At the same time also important that parents don't leave the task of sexual education exclusively to schools just because they are afraid of dealing with the difficulties of the subject.
