Online Pornography
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Online pornography is easier to get than ever. It is a bit alarming exactly HOW easy it is and how ANYONE can access it. As a parent, it could be hard to imagine your kids actually going to search for it, but really, if they're interested in what it's about, all they have to do is type "porn sites" into any search engine, and there it is. It takes a matter of seconds.
Some people may say that pornography is harmless, or an "art-form," however, if it were that harmless, we would not have so many people addicted to it. I had a past family member who lost numerous jobs due to this "harmless" 'addiction,' then lost his family over it. Addiction to pornography sometimes takes over people's lives and destroys them. So how can we, as parents, protect our kids from seeing this at the touch of a button?
There are multiple reasons why this is an important subject to talk about with your kids. Here is one: I have a close friend who has struggled with porn addiction. He has admitted that it has affected his relationships with women. He said he "desensitized" him. He is in a support group to help hold him accountable. He is young, unmarried, and is a very successful businessman. He also said that once you begin, it's very hard to stop. This began when he was a teenager.
One major advantage of McGruff Safeguard is that not only can you monitor what your children and teens are talking about; you can also guard what content they are able to access, therefore, we can protect them during this influential time.
I know that as a parent, it can be very uncomfortable to talk to your kids about pornography. However, if you do, at least you will have begun to open up some lines of communication on this serious matter. McGruff Safeguard is also there for you to gain awareness of potential sexual abuse problems. McGruff Safeguard can monitor any conversation about sexual addictions and report back to you. We care about the health and safety of your kids. Help us help you keep your children safe online.Labels: child pornography, Internet predators
