Porn

I heard from my mom that my nephew brought back news right after school to his dad that a friend of his was suspended from school for 2 weeks.
Why?
Because during computer class, in the comp lab, that little nine-year-old kid was surfing a porn site. And the teacher caught that.

My nephew is a very geeky smart kid. Very nice kid. Very naive. But, boy, I tell ya, with peer influence like that, I'm fearing for his innocence.
Now, of course, we all experienced this kind of discovery when we are much younger. Some maybe experienced a lot sooner than some others, some maybe exposed more than some others. A friend told me that her dad gathered the family and dropped a bunch of adult magazines and said "Here, if you have to see it behind me anyway, I'd rather you see it in front of me." My friend was only like 14-15 year old.
Wow.
More of it, my boyfriend mentioned like ages ago, that porn industry is one of the biggest internet industry, I don't think this industry is gonna die down. Ever. I just don't understand how it works, is it free for public? Don't you have to register & give your credit card number first to view them?
I don't know.
But the picture of a nine-year-old surfing it is pretty horrible.
El mundo loco.

And when my mom told me over the phone about that, I screamed "Aaaarrgghh..., seriously??"

Then the next thing I thought was, Oh Gosh, I can't even handle this news. It's not even my kid, and it's not him that got the suspension. I'm so gonna be a control freak mom, the type of mom that I do not want to be.

I love my mom, but one of the many things I learned from her is not to be as controlling as her. Sigh, And THEN, the next thing after the previous next thing that I did was giving my mom instruction to tell to my brother to buy parental control softwares to install in their PCs/laptops. I was horrified. From the news and for hearing myself behaved like that.

But anyways, 'nuff about this. People with kids... be aware, and good luck to y'all. God Speed.
