12 yr old and internet porn

I was staggered this afternoon to discover my 12 yr old dd has been looking at adult pornsites on the internet. I feel like a dreadful mother. How could this happen - I thought this computer was set up to not allow ANY sex, violence, bad language or nudity. I have two younger children too. The computer is not in dd's bedroom - it's in the family room and she is never here alone, well one afternoon a week when the cleaning lady is here. I suppose it's just her curiosity but I should not have let this happen - I haven't said anything to her - Iknow i must but I thought i'd let the panic subside, do I make a big thing of it or pretend it's nothing. I daren't tell dh... What can I do any ideas and please everybody make sure your computer is secure - my dd is only supposed to use the internet for homework research but maybe she typed in a word which came up with some dodgy sites.

It would be quite interesting if the OP came back after all this time to tell us about how wonderful her 20yr old DD is now!!

Her DD is maybe starring in porn videos by now. Home-made ones, anyway.

Neither. What she needs to know is:

People in RL don't look like that.
People in RL don't act like that.

You know she is curious, it's normal, but internet porn is not the way to learn.
