More children seeing online porn
From Times Wire Reports
More children are seeing online pornography, mostly by accidentally viewing sexually explicit websites while surfing the Internet, researchers say.
University of New Hampshire researchers found that 42% of Internet users ages 10 to 17 surveyed said they had seen online pornography in a recent 12-month span. Of those, 66% said they did not want to view the images and had not sought them out. The researchers’ conclusions appear in the February issue of the journal Pediatrics, due out today.
Pornography was defined in the study as images of naked people or people having sex.
