It was a rhetorical question. also hypothetical, it's not actually the real world here:)
So people don't ask genuine questions and don't expect (mostly) sensible answers?
Okay then - I'd say start them young at about 6 or 7 and get them watching porn early.
That way, by the time they hit their teens and become interested in sex, they'll be bored to tears with watching it and probably won't bother doing it themselves :kitty:

Lol. as a mother and foster mother and indeed a grandmother of a 19 year old, you cannot teach me to suck eggs.
And if you use the correct parental control software, and don't opt out to the adult content filters being rolled out, it wont be easily available to children.
Why do I have to monitor adult content?. There are no children in this house, so if adult content is available on my internet connection it makes no difference to me.
If you want to monitor what your children do online, go ahead. I have absolutely zero interest in your internet connection, what it is used for, who accesses what etc. so why should I take any responsibility for what your kids do online?.
Because the children that are not in your house are the Adults of yours and our future.
I heard about a year ago (on the radio) that primary school kids were sending each other porn on their smartphones so sussing-out how to block sites on the family PC isn't really going to cut it these days.
Another reason not to give children smartphones IMO. I'm not even sure they need a mobile at all at primary school age but that's a different topic.

I have no desire to snoop on my neighbours. Why should I?.
Children have no access to MY internet connection, so tell me what would be the point of monitoring my own connection?. I already know what I access, as I am the only one doing it.
Have you at no time been affected by your neighbours?
Eh?.
What on Earth has that got to do with whether or not they are viewing porn online?.
I really do not get what point you are trying to make here?.
Should I be creeping around my neighbours house and peering in their curtains, just to see if they are watching porn?. If so, what should I do about it if they are adults and it's all legal?.
Again you make assumptions. where or when was a very young child mentioned?
It was a question, not an assumption, besides it was mentioned that young children where sending naughty pics via smartphones.
Older teenagers are far more likely to be able to cope with seeing something they shouldn't, so as long as they are aware of the dangers it's fine for them to have smartphones.
But younger children are probably more likely to be upset with some of the things they see online, and they have no need of a smartphone anyway given things like FB are supposed to be restricted to over 13s anyway.
If a younger child needs a phone, give them a basic one with no internet access. Then they can't use it to view anything they shouldn't be viewing that may upset them.

No, you said that you didn't have children in your house whilst using the internet, so that was ok, I was just trying to point out that children become adults at some point and they are our future.

OK,
but I don't see what that has to do with the current debate.

Well we're in big trouble if they have parents who can't suss out internet security.
As a child, there were times when the talk from grownups, made me want to investigate for myself.......and the equipment to 'investigate' is in our homes (that I do not yet know how to keep fully under lock and key).
If you purchased the internet connection and brought the computer into the house then I think it's your responsibility. That might mean you need to spend some time learning.
There is nothing wrong in using a false identity while posting on the internet. What is wrong is if you pretend to be a different sex in order to trick someone into being your buddy. I became friends with a woman in Israel because we shared the same first name. We would message etc. until one day she let slip something that made me realise she was actually a man. Why would anyone want to be a different sex is beyond me, very sad.

Love how swearing at posters who do monitor and care about childrens access to the internet diminishes any point they might possibly make.

so are you suggesting that technology should not be shared.?

Very true.
We're in bigger trouble if their parents couldn't care less about them and let them do what they want without monitoring or controlling them.
You have a point.
yeah well that was you and your friends.;-)
If you purchased the internet connection and brought the computer into the house then I think it's your responsibility. That might mean you need to spend some time learning.
Had I have had one back then?
I probably would have been one of the kids that saw it.
You may have a point!
