Startling Evidence Of Children’s Exposure To Porn In The UK

Do you know what your children have been watching on television and via the internet?

A recent study by Authority for Television on Demand, spear headed by Atvod, an online video regulator suggests that 44,000 primary school children in the UK had visited pornographic sites.

Atvod’s findings which was described as, “startling evidence of children’s exposure to hardcore pornography on the internet” shows;

‘study found that 6% of children aged 15 or under had accessed an adult website. If scaled up nationally, the research suggests that 44,000 primary school children had accessed pornographic material – and 200,000 under-16s. One site, Pornhub, was visited by 112,000 boys in the UK aged between 12 and 17’.

He suggested that laws should be changed to protect children from seeing adult material on the internet.

As a parent, are you going to sit and wait for the law makers to protect your children, in this regard? The internet definitely comes with its pros and cons for our children. How do you think you can protected them from viewing adult content?
