Healthy Eating Leads Children to Porn

Posted by Cole Gamble

We try to do the best for our best for our kids. Make them brush their teeth, look both ways before crossing the street. But are we trying too hard to protect our kids? Could these well intentioned acts actually have a negative effect? Perhaps, as some parents are learning encouraging their children to eat healthy is leading the kids to pornography. To be specific, it leads them to, and I quote, “Hot Gay Bareback” porn…

 

A mother in New Zealand was shocked to find the kid-friendly healthy eating website address her daughter got from a package of mandarins actually lead her to a site with a big purple cartoon monster offering the 8-year-old links to multiple porn sites. Instead of going to Munch Island, where she could play interactive puzzles and learn about the benefits of eating fruit, the woman’s child was treated to hard core gay porn.

 

Turns out the regular site had been hacked by some fun loving computer gremlins. Well, kids have got to learn sometime, right?
