We did all of this in the article and what is also true is kids do have their own path. We did the purity books and other stuff and our son has battled this issue for years and it is the root to other evils: lying, drug experimentation, violence and this is a Christian kid. at this time he completely has rebelled and is living with dad who has no rules. if it isnt the dad they will go to a friends house and at 17 or 18 you cannot stop an angry teenager from leaving without physical confrontation which isn't productive. what I have learned is to make it clear, even in writing with a card, that when they come around I love him, I forgive him, he is important to God and to me.

Internet filters are definitely a priority but lets not forget that when our children walk outside of our doors and go to daycare, elementary school, etc. they will have to communicate with children who may not be raised with the same values. They will hear songs, see dances, see girls wearing suggestive clothing, hear boys disrespectfully speaking about young ladies, etc. We can't protect them from everything but we can do our best to ARM them with the Godly values and respect for themselves. No age is too young. My son is 4 years old and I've encountered things at his daycare already that I had hoped he would not be exposed to until high school. It's never too aerly to speak boldly to our children so that they won't be shocked or even interested in entertaining these types of things when they do stumble across them.

EVERY household needs to have an internet filter to help protect their families from pornography. Don't think that they are too young, old, educated or any other excuse - they will encounter pornography on their computer if not protected.
