If your kids are awake, they’re probably on a smartphone, in front of a smart TV, downloading apps, or posting to social networks. And most likely you have no idea what they’re doing. –IParent.tv
While the Internet brings many positive opportunities to learn, laugh, and connect with our family and friends, it also gives easier access to many dangerous temptations, resources, and people. You may not be aware of all the dangers available if it’s used without any accountability or guidelines and how it can ruin your child’s reputation and self-esteem, scarring them in ways that may take years to undo.
Danger 1–I can access pornography.
Pornography can be found for free on any social media platform or Internet browser. Chat rooms include links to some of the most deranged content. Naked photos of non-consenting adolescents can be shared like wildfire among youth (also known as revenge porn) and easily fall into the hands of predators who upload the content to various websites so the pictures or videos cannot be contained from further exposure.
Porn stars usually have their own website or Facebook and Twitter accounts in which they post clips of their latest scenes, nude pictures, and promote other porn stars while including the links to the videos they have made together. Erotica can be found and read for free, while appalling sex scenes, dialogue, and practices can be seen in movies and television shows easily.

Thank you very much for reaching out for help. A significant step in overcoming our sinful habits is bringing them into the light and making our struggles known to another person. I would encourage you to read the other posts on my blog regarding pornography (http://babypinkroses.blogspot.com/search/label/About%20Pornography) and take the time to read resources by Covenant Eyes which also addresses sexual addiction (http://www.covenanteyes.com/blog/).
Overcoming porn addiction is possible! A true change of heart, mindset, and distorted passions/attractions is also possible!
If you would like to further correspond through email, you may write to me at EmmaJoyBlog@gmail.com
Don't lose hope! Be willing to put in the work and time needed to deal with your sin. Freedom is attainable.
