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?

There are dangers everywhere, so we educate our chilldren the best we can.

I think blackballing  schools is rather un-productive, many many more atrocities have been found to have happened in religious intitutions for many many years, and still are - but I assume we won't be able to discuss that rationally here.

I can believe what you say ilovemykids64. Back in the day when ABC had funding and better journalists, things like this would be investigated.  back in the late 90s, I recall something about this being shown on ABC or SBS. News these days, much of it is just a script.

You were talking about schools. I do know the reality and that is, pedophiles are to be found in all walks of life. I know that, and it is something we need to guard children against as best we can.

But I don't know that government schools are 'full of them'. I worked in government schools for many years, admittedly only in primary schools, but never ever did I come across such a thing involving any staff. I once had to report (privately to prin, who then forwarded information to authorities) about a child who told me about abuse (not sexual) at home. That was mandatory reporting.

Honestly though, I doubt very many staff in government schools are pedophiles, it would be a rare thing.

I do know what you mean. Obviously in certain private schools there's a lot. Well, I can see it in the public schools as well. Remember that many teachers and admin have been through private schools themselves.

Given - you are replying to a 2 month old post - the schools have more than likely undergone a ' deep clean '. 🤣
