6 teenagers in Utah are being questioned by police after a parent found nude pictures on her child's cell phone. Apparently the group of 13-14 year old girls and boys took pictures of themselves and swapped them using their cell phones.
The kids told police they thought it was a joke. The children could potentially face child pornography charges.
Police in Texas busted a group of teenager gang members who are accused of running a prostitution ring involving girls as young as 12.
The gang targeted runaways and girls with an unstable home life, befriending them, getting them high, and then selling them to men. If the girls refused to cooperate, they were beaten and sexually abused.
Certainly there are a number of factors involved in both cases. The increasingly pornified world that these children are raised in is surely one of those factors. Children cannot process pornography, often equating this fantasy to sexual and relational reality.
We don't allow children to buy cigarettes or alcohol, but we allow them to freely surf millions of pages of pornography online everyday. We must offer children real protection from porn's influential and addictive power.
The CP80 Foundation is pleased to offer free training to individuals who wish to learn more about the Internet, pornography, current laws and the CP80 Internet Channel Initiative.
