Surfing little children

FINDING electronically generated sexual images is child’s play these days.

There are galleries full of them on the internet or via a camera mobile phone. You don’t have to be especially streetwise, either. You don’t have to persuade someone that you are 18. You don’t even need money, and you don’t have to go through an embarrassing exchange over the counter. Any kid from Boston to Bandon can (and do) access porn with frightening ease.

New technology has made all the difference. All he or she has to do is click and view.
