Yes, it is the parents responsibility to monitor their childs
activities. And yes, sex is sold everywhere.

However,

A kid can not go into a store and buy a playboy or penthouse.
They cant even see the cover cause its blocked by black film -
even if the girl on the cover is dressed. Why? Common courtesy
to parents to MAKE that desicion - not have it thrust in their face.

Been surfing on the net lately? Mainstream, not adult. Even browsing
through mainstream sites you get bombed with gambling, casino and porn pop-ups. Its inevitable. You surf long enough and *BAM* - there's
a picture of a girl sucking on a cock or shoving god-knows-what where
the sun dont shine.

Everyone is responsible for keeping children from possibly harmful materials. If you saw a child at a store who had wandered off from a less-than-attentive parent and was headed for some injury - would you say "oh, its not my problem if that kid hurts himself" cause his parent wasnt paying attention that minute, or are you going to help the kid avoid whatever and help him find his parent?

Twinkley, with all do respect. You can't change the FACT that it is the parents responsibility to monitor their childrens internet activity.

Parents must watch what their kids see on TV, listen on the radio, and browse on the internet. Period.

You can't change whats on the radio, you can't change whats on TV, you can't change the fact that porn will always be accessible especially on the internet.

What you can change, is the ability for your kids to even be exposed to those medias that contain the damaging content.
