Technology has brought us a much more dangerous method for porn to infect our children. The television combined with the VCR is still the number one avenue for pornography in our country. It is a multi-billion dollar industry, and children DO have access. This last year I counseled a young man, who at 15 was given a copy of a XXX adult video by a friend. Videos of this type are easily copied and distributed by children and teens.
Children usually have easy access to the television and VCRs when parents aren t at home.
In fact, many parents depend on this technology to baby-sit their children when they are away from the house. Technology created this problem, and like the Internet, technology might solve it as well. Already DVD movies have the ability to show movies with a variety of ratings. A few years later, we see the same movie on television with the bad language dubbed out, and the inappropriate scenes removed. DVD gives the ability to provide this type of service on first run movies.
