Hide all the harmful things, eh? How about giving parents guidance first so they could give some to children? Or maybe give children guidance at school? Kids will get guidance if there's willpower to do it. Hiding everything harmful isn't "stepping in", it's avoiding the problem. It's also exaggerating the problem because like I said, kids aren't made of glass. And then there's the thing: How do you think we're going to have mature adults when kids learn the world is a perfect place, nothing is wrong, and they never learn to cope with harder things. If anything, we'll end up with helpless adults if we overprotect our children.

I'm not saying violence and porn are fine for kids. I'm saying they'll learn to cope with it. They just need guidance and a proper amount of protection, that's all. If they don't get those two, they probably have bigger issues than seeing porn.

Again, the fundamental problem is that you think you can depend on the parents.

In that case, the fundamental problem isn't porn, it's bad parents. As far as I know, people used to be able to parent their children. Now, not so much, it feels. Maybe instead figure out what's wrong with parents? Don't you find it a bigger problem than porn?
