Children as young as six can access the internet and parents and grandparents don’t have a clue about it. Disgusting and psychologically damaging images are being sent to cell-phones, computers and pads daily and some may just pop up on your child’s, or grandchildren’s device. It is a traumatic experience for anyone especially a child to see images of another child being sexually assaulted by an adult. Your child will have a radical change of relationship and perception of adults, their parents, and the world as a result. The innocent child will be psychologically assaulted, shocked, haunted, and damaged.

My recent article calling for new laws to curb child pornography everywhere and especially in the Philippines drew a letter of concern from Social Welfare Undersecretary Parisya H. Taradja. I claimed that the present laws are not being implemented to compel internet service providers (ISPs) to filter and block child pornography as mandated by RA9775.
