You can't keep your kids "safe" in the traditional Leave it to Beaver avoid at all costs and block it out sort of way. You can keep your kids safe by educating them about what is out there, and by troubleshooting what they can do when confronted with it, as well as having on-going discussions about whatever the topic is and providing safe, non-judgmental escape chutes for when they need it. And even then, you just have to hope for the best. My two cents, for what that's worth. I have no research to back this up, just my own experience with my kids.
