When these questions arise, I always revert back to the question: whose
jurisdiction is it? In the case of children, it is the jurisdiction,
authority, and responsibility of the parents to deal with such matters.=20
=20
"Society" deals with the consequences of both good parenting and bad
parenting. However, it is not up to society to legislatively intervene
because of a few bad apples.=20
=20
The typical knee-jerk reaction is to object to a few and to pass =
legislation
that forces parents to conform to our preferences.=20
=20
However, in a "free" society with freedoms and responsibilities, the
authority needs to remain with the governing jurisdiction.=20

Best,
Dale

The tough part of this equation is where the parents that should be
"parenting" their child away from this material don't care enough to, =
then
that child goes out and does something to a child that was actively
"parented". How can society prevent this proactively?
