Here are a few warnings signs that your child may have a problem
with pornography on the Internet.
- Your child is hiding disks.
- Your child spends an inordinate amount of time on the Internet
or is online late into the night.
- Your child uses computer files that end in .gif or .jpg. These
are picture files that may contain the latest Hubble telescope
photos or pornographic material.
- You discover unusual charges on your credit card statements.
Be especially suspicious of phone charges that identify themselves
as "Web Site." Many pornographers don't provide their names
to avoid raising parental concern.
- Your child quickly changes the computer screen when you enter
the room.
- You notice changes in your child's behavior (mention of adults
you don't know, secretiveness, inappropriate sexual knowledge,
sleeping problems, etc.).
