Ask yourself, despite all your arguments to the contrary, do you not think that willfully allowing porn into the hands of underage kids is not the responsibility of the government and MORALLY wrong? If it isn't it should be! I can talk to my son and ground him for a year but it's not going to stop other peoples kids. That's why we have government. Even if nothing happens and I can only bring awareness to this issue to help educate other parents then it's worth it for me. You have no idea how much It hurts me to think my son was even able to contemplate this.
And BTW I do take care to speak to him about sex and what is right and wrong. I didn't say that he KEEPS looking at pornography. I'm sure that after this he won't touch it for a very long time. At some point it will be his moral choice to do this and at that point I can only hope that all the lessons I have taught him and done my best to instill in him will help him make the right decision. What else can I do?
