The Internet is changing the way kids learn about the world around them; but unfortunately, not always for the better. Sure the information superhighway offers easy access to information when they have questions or need to complete school reports, but unfortunately that's not all our kids are finding.
According to a recent University of New Hampshire study, 42 percent of Internet users between the ages of 10 and 17 have been exposed to online pornography (defined in the study as images of naked people or people having sex). Of those, 66 percent said they did not want to view the images and had not sought them out. Many stumbled onto the X-rated images through other "normal" Internet use, including talking online with friends, visiting chat rooms and playing games.
