Too much too young?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I'm don't think that the situation is as clear cut as that tbh.
As a teenager from Chichester said: “If you put a phone in a child’s hand, you are putting porn in a child’s hand … don’t do it unless you are ready to speak to them about pornography.” It is common for children aged six to encounter pornography online. This would often be pop-ups. An eight-year-old girl in Stoke-on-Trent told me: “I’ve been on YouTube and they’ve just come along. I like going on YouTube and watching videos of how to make slime. You see pictures of people with no clothes and I think – why on earth would that be on the internet? Why would people put it on there, because if people knew little children – four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 – would see it, wouldn’t they be a bit embarrassed?”

“My dad is a teacher at a primary school and he said that it’s getting worse and worse because young children are getting phones. He said he has to deal with Primary 5 [children aged eight to nine years old] sending pictures of pornography and he gets quite upset when he talks about it.” Another 14-year-old in the same conversation added: “At my sister’s primary school, they had to ban the kids from the internet because Primary 5 were watching things like that.” Teachers told me they had to take tablets away from children for the same reason.
