Been away from the news for a few weeks and just caught up with this. I would never watch one of these videos but just saw a comment where someones 12 yr old daughter was shown the video by older kids on another child's phone and she was very upset (understandably).

Just realised that although I would never watch this, there is a possibility young kids are sharing this kind of thing with friends and it might be doing the rounds in schools. Wasn't sure where to put this and not trying to kick off the usual AIBU malarkey but is anyone else worried about their kids seeing this kind of thing? Especially as they will be back at school soon.

The girl spoken about was surprised and shown suddenly, didn't even have a choice in the matter.

Sorry. I sound determinedly miserable about it, I know.

I do want to see some hope around the issue (which is the other side of the extreme porn coin AFAICS) , but I just can't.

Soulsister - how old is your daughter? What do you say to her about looking at this kind of stuff? I feel I need to speak to my son but not looking forward to it or whether it will make him curious about something he had no knowledge of. I'm quite upset about it.
