Clean Edited Movies

For years this website has helped concerned viewers make wholesome and informed decisions about the video content the watch. We have watched as the entertainment industry has down-spiraled into filth and vulgarity, even as movie ratings and sales slumped.

As a new study published this week details, I’m reminded how the battle is not limited to the television set. In this month’s journal of Pediatrics, a study shows that more than 40% of kids ages 10-17 view adult material on the web. In addition, a majority of the 40% said they were not seeking to view adult material, but happened across it.

A similar study in 2000 showed that only 25% of kids the same age had viewed explicit material online. At this rate, what can concerned parents do to protect their children short of unplugging the computer? That question was posed to David S. Bickham, staff scientist at the Center on Media and Child Health at Children’s Hospital Boston. His response:

Talking to your kids about safe online use is important, but it won’t necessarily help them avoid unintentional exposure to pornography. Make sure whatever e-mail service your child is using has a very good spam filter — this will keep most of the pornography spam at bay. Talk to kids about keeping e-mail addresses private. This means not giving out addresses to enter Web sites or having your address posted anywhere online.

Also, consider filtering software. While exposure to pornography online is beginning to be a normative experience, installing filtering software on your computer will help delay the initial exposure.
