A parent and youth leader argues that easy access to pornography is rewiring an entire generation of children, and nobody's talking about it. He draws on personal experience working with young people to make the case for stronger protections.
So I don't know why people aren't talking about this. Why aren't people talking more about how pornography is negatively influencing this next generation? Look, I'm not talking about adults, and this isn't a moral rant. This is just me putting it out to the universe that I am sick and tired of how easy it is for kids to see pornography. Kids who are not even looking for it are getting it shown to them, even with parental controls. And I know a lot of you might be saying, well, it's a parent's job to protect, and I agree, but it has to be easier. It has to be easier than it is. I have four boys. I've been a youth leader over hundreds of different kids over the years. It is unbelievably easy and very difficult for. Easy to see and difficult to control. Adults are having a hard time controlling this thing because it takes all these filters and walls and there's all this technology to get around it. There is an easier way, and I'm just tired of it being hidden behind a curtain so that parents are working full time to protect their kids when it should be something that is like a morally accepted truth that we do not allow or give access to young, young people, kids, children, access to that type of material. It's addictive, it's corrosive. This isn't a moral thing. This is a scientific piece of information that I just wish we had more information on. So if anyone has any magic tips or tricks, please let me know, because I have a whole community of young men and women that I've been working and serving for years that I would love to help and just in general, just tired of it.
