"Let’s say a dad came to see you for advice about his teenage son. He tells you his son has been sneaking out of bed late at night looking at porn on the computer. He’s put filters in place but his son seems to be able to get around them. How might you start advising this father?"
Click here to find out wise ways to approach this situation, some hard questions about the state of your child's heart, and your own role in this challenge that you never thought you'd have to face.
Bottom line?
People you'd never dream of inviting into your home can appear with a few clicks of the mouse ... with disturbing, violent, or provocative images that remain long after the computer's been turned off. Don't be naive enough to assume that you or your children are safe from these dangerous predators.
Let's be proactive on this. Building Character and Building Walls is a Focus on the Family link that is MUST READING for every parent. And then make Covenant Eyes your next stop.
Let's get smart before it's too late ...

In the sermon series for our Young Married's class, the pastor cites the statistic that most children's first experience with inappropriate online material is at age 11. His point was that if parents wait until a child is 12 to talk to them, they're most likely already too late. It's a sobering thought for someone who hopes to be a parent some day.
