Teens & Porn
Cooper Pinson
With the explosion of the technology age we are currently in, easily-accessed porn invades younger and younger hearts, often unbeknownst to parents. When encouraged to protect their children from tech invasions, many parents vehemently declare that their child is so innocent and so protected, they are not concerned for their welfare. Their relationship to their child is so secure, that their child would not secretly travel into such a dark world. Sadly, these parents are often in the dark when it comes to what their young children have already seen and experienced through innocent interaction in video games, research for reports, etc. In this interview, Cooper Pinson of HarvestUSA lays out practical ways that parents can use to put into place additional layers of protection, and how to talk to their children about the dangers of porn, and how to respond when they are exposed to inappropriate material.
