Do you honestly believe that giving an kid unfiltered internet is likely to land you in trouble with social services? That is so far out of touch with reality.

  My sister is a social worker. It does. Regularly. More than you could imagine. People don't know what acceptable sexual boundaries are when they learn about sex from porn resulting in all sorts of messed up individuals.

    I find it hard to believe it is the unfiltered internet connection that gets them in trouble, rather than the particularly bad parenting that accompanied it in those particular circumstances. An unfiltered internet connection itself is nothing for the government to be concerned about. (You also likely have some pretty heavy selection bias tainting your perception of the prevalence of things like this.)

      > find it hard to believe it is the unfiltered internet connection that gets them in trouble, rather than the particularly bad parenting that accompanied it in those particular circumstances. How about a third possibility, that social services will screw with people's lives based on their whim.

        I'm not sure the (real) problems with social services are on topic here.

    Rape has existed for a lot longer than the Internet.
