I'm sure that the community on this list has discussed this problem at length. What is the best defense? How do we get the message out or, better yet, deliver it?
No, actually we have not discussed this "problem" at length. No reason too, as this is not a list about parenting and parental techniques and moral teachings for children.
Speaking as a parent, the best defense is to be able to discuss the information your children receive with them. Your opinion will carry a lot of weight. If you say that nice people don't spend their time looking at photos of naked people, well they are very likely to believe you and act on that belief. However, remember that children have a very sensitive hypocrisy meter. You better live your own beliefs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz | The Internet was designed | Periwinkle -- Consulting (408)356-8506 | to protect the free world | 16345 Englewood Ave. frantz@netcom.com | from hostile governments. | Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA
