And don\u2019t be fooled into thinking your kids are too young to search for images, the fact is if your let your kids use You Tube or play games online the images are there for them to come across quite innocently and without their consent.\r\n\r\nSo what\u2019s the answer? \u00a0(1) It\u2019s about educating yourself about technology (try\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/quib.ly\/welcome\">Quibly<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chatdanger.com\/\">ChatDanger<\/a>\u00a0for this) so you are aware of what your kids are looking at (i.e. don\u2019t be a technophobe be active in knowing what you\u2019re kids are up to). (2) Set parental controls on all the internet access in the home (think games consoles, tablets, computers and phones) but be aware no filter is 100% accurate and (3) Talk to your kids about pornography as part of their sex and relationship education.\r\n\r\nThis means talking about how pornography comes about, and how it has been linked to unrealistic attitudes about sex and about issues of consent and illegal images. You don\u2019t have to do a BIG embarrassing talk but rather bring it up little and often. Discuss what they\u2019re looking at, what they may have seen and whether the images they have seen have upset them in anyway. It\u2019s this, say the experts, not blocking that is the best form of parental control over the images your kids see and how they interpret them.\r\n\r\nSo what\u2019s your view on protecting kids from online porn? Is it something you\u2019re worried about?","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As a journalist I am always amazed (even after all this time) how easy it is for porn to come up in seemingly innocent Google searches.
