Responsible parents can supervise all they like in their own home but what if Johnny or Mary go their mate’s house where supervision is much more lax? So you ban them from going to that person’s house. But kids being kids they will find a way of getting there if they want to.

Then there is the mobile phone. I understand that some of these modern phones can access the Internet nowadays.

There is no easy solution.

It might be better to frighten them into leaving such sites alone by explaining that people who are caught viewing such sites, will get charged and have to sign the sex offenders register for the rest of their lives. With that black mark over them then job prospects are greatly diminished not to mention that they will become society’s pariahs.

I think that the ISP’s could do more by blocking access to known unacceptable sites. They could even offer say one month’s free Internet access for every bona fide report that a customer makes about a new site to encourage people to report them. Of course that could also encourage people to go looking for them.

But what about adults? Don’t they have a right to use the Internet as they please? Well yes I guess that they do but if blocking those sort of sites for everyone is the price of keeping our kids away from them, then so be it.

Those people who go to porn, snuff and child abuse sites are sick in the head, need locking up and the key being thrown away.
