In past months'' articles, I discussed the fallacy that the viewing of explicit, adult-oriented content is just a harmless hobby and doesn't really hurt anyone; and that, in fact, it leaves a trail of victims in its destructive wake. In that article I talked about the ways that women are victims of pornography. In this article, I will discuss the many ways that children are victimized by pornography.

Consider the following examples of how pornography negatively impacts children's lives:

·                 The combination of pornography and the pedophiles it produces is deadly for children. The brutal abuse of children by pedophiles pumped up on porn is tragic, shocking and heartbreaking.

·                 Men who view pornography portraying 18-year-old women dressed to look like young teens, often act out their prurient sexual cravings by raping "real" young teens.

·                 Children and teens who are exposed to pornography have these images etched in their memories for the rest of their lives. These images can be triggered and can surface without warning, leaving the potential for numerous problems in future life.
