WHY FILTERING?
* Nine out of 10 children aged between 8 and 16 have viewed pornography on the Internet. In most cases, the sex sites were accessed unintentionally when a child, often in the process of doing homework, used a seemingly innocent sounding word to search for information or pictures. (London School of Economics January 2002)
* Even 51% of pastors say cyber porn is a possible temptation. 37% say it is a current struggle. (Christianity Today, Leadership Survey, December 2001)
* 25 million Americans visit cyber-sex sites between 1-10 hours per week. Another 4.7 million in excess of 11 hours per week. (MSNBC/Stanford/Duquesne Study, Washington Times, January 26, 2000)
* 63% of men attending "Men, Romance & Integrity Seminars" admit to struggling with porn in the past year. Two-thirds are in church leadership and 10% are pastors. (Pastor's Family Bulletin, Focus on the Family, March 2000)
* 1 in 7 calls to Focus' Pastoral Care Line is about Internet pornography. (Pastor's Family Bulletin, Focus on the Family, March 2000)
A LETTER FROM ANTHONY MANGUN, Family Relationship Commission
Parents and educators agree the Internet is an incredible new vehicle for children - providing unlimited resources that enhance education. However it has made accessibility to pornography incredibly easy. A recent study showed that 9 in 10 kids ages 8-16 yrs. have viewed porn online, most of them accidentally while doing homework. We must have - and utilize tools - to protect our families from materials that are inappropriate and even dangerous for them.
Good filtering and monitoring software coupled with good parental supervision is the best weapon to protect our families online. With effective blocking technology, we can safeguard our families from unwanted material including sexually-explicit images, violence, gambling, alcohol advertising, and ideological extremism.
Child safety on the Internet begins with responsible parenting. It is imperative that we take advantage of software that helps to protect our children and ourselves from the dark side of cyberspace.
Sincerely, Anthony Mangun, Family Relationship Commission
