Protecting children from things adult and improper. Where should the boundaries be?

Protecting children from things adult and improper. Where should the boundaries be?

Today children are exposed to things that 20 years ago were unheard of. As time creeps on we see more and more things that challenge belief. In film and on television, extremely violent imagery is such an accepted and major part of entertainment that some cannot enjoy a film or program unless it is violent.

In what passes for music, the lyrics are more explicit and sexually laden than they ever were. A great deal of the video clips that appear on television would be considered pornography once upon a time. Other forms of music such as some rap have lyrics about killing people, guns and putting down women in the worst possible way.

Something that would be laughed off as impossible years ago, children before they can even walk properly are now exposed to adult entertainers such as drag queens as part of some supposed education or enlightenment program. Some of these drag queens have names of male and female genitalia. Some have names that relate to sexual scents and arousal. Some even have gone as far as doing stripping routines, twerking, teaching twerking, and  other blatant sexually suggestive behaviour. They are even reading childrens stories that are an alternative to the male and female relationships or the birth genders..

Children are playing violent video games which are much more graphic and interactive than what they were in the past. Many are not interested in a video game unless it is violent. They can play for hours and hours on these games, either connected to their own source or a source that is online. Some of the games are so violent that some adults are sickened to the degree that they refuse to even talk about it. Others that do find it almost impossible to comprehend.

* Where should the boundaries be set or where should they have been set?

* What effect is this having on children today?

* How will things be in ten or twenty years time?

I am all for sensible discussion. This thread here has to be given a fair chance. There isn't a thread like it elsewhere in the forum. Well, not in recent times. Only one component is about entertainers in the adult industry. As you can see the conversation between myself and a couple of other members is now touching on home-schooling and the reasons why some parents do it.  

The title is "Protecting children from things adult and improper. Where should the boundaries be?".

Given a fair chance, I have no doubt the topic will touch on other reasons why parents want to protect their children and methods of protection used.

Debate is healthy and good and this is what a forum like this should be about.

Please remove - before it becomes any more offensive to those of us with children.

Challenges of parental responsibility in the digital age: a global perspective

By Sonia Livingstone and Jasmina Byrne
11 December 2017

Children everywhere are gaining access to the internet – most often via a mobile phone. In many places, too, parents are feeling challenged in their competence, role and authority. Distinctively, internet access is bringing children access also to valued sources of knowledge and connection that their parents may lack. How are parents responding?

I think being in  the digital age and right in the thick of it, it is easy to say ....  "Oh well, it's here now. What can I do? Everyone else has it so why bother"? Certainly that's a common reaction. But I personally believe that perception is more common than reality.  The truth is that there are parents who teach their children to develop interests in pursuits that aren't always electronic.   Yes it's hard for those living in apartment blocks and housing units with very small outdoor areas. So, what can be done? Thoughts!

@4C

why do you and LMK64 keep reporting my posts? 
I am allowed to have my say and give my opinion here, yet you have my posts removed.

You won’t answer my simple Y/N question regarding if you have children yourself, yet it relates directly to your own thread.  

Discussions are good, but healthy debates allow both sides of the topic to be told and revealed, yet you both seem to only want to hear in the affirmative to your topic and nothing of the negative. 

Seriously, it’s button pushers like you two that these boards are rarely visited by new members anymore, with the rehash of same old posts over and over again..... and can you please stop with the cut and paste of your own replies? We only need to read it once, trust me, once is enough! 

So tell me..... do you have any children 4C? 

(I bet this post is missing by this arvo too... *sigh*).

my thoughts . . . I think there are many avenues for kids who live in apartment blocks and housing units to venture outside for play and other activities.  Public parks and sports fields come to mind.  This can be difficult when we are living under the curse that is COVID and lockdowns when there is an outbreak.

I think that the more people that get vaccinated the more available outdoor play areas will be for children and families.  Weekend sport will be able to get back to some sense of normality and certainty.  What do you think 4channel?

Spoiler

I know, he doesn’t reply to my posts.  However, if he is reluctant to reply to this post, a post that is directly related to a new line of discussion introduced by him, then it makes a nonsense of anyone even posting further on this thread . . . and is then an argument as to why this thread should be locked!

My thoughts.

Given the original topic of this thread.

Most who post here - have kids - those kids - more than probably have - kids.

So the age group of ' concern ' here is the thing I find of ' concern '.

Young kids - as an interest for anyone without kids - in any area - I for one find deeply disturbing -  the mention of - sexuality - dress - morality - then being taken to - an individuals ' personal taste in women ' - even more disturbing. ( Well - apart from lacking any interest whatsoever).

Perhaps ' we ' are getting around in the wrong circles.

I can see no reason to continue this thread.

i cant understand why someone is offended by normal humans wanting to protect our own and future innocent children from vile pedos and grooming them in schools.  Makes you wonder what kind of parent they are??

are you saying there are ‘pedos’ in schools? And that children are being ‘groomed’ in schools?

[lovemykids64]

Anything government run would be full of them.  And yes out of school and in school and family members are involved in grooming children.  There is much more deep dark things that would absolute shock you.  Saw something tonight my husband showed me and i felt sick and teary.
