How Hardcore Pornography Harms Children

1. Children are harmed when deprived of the opportunity to grow up in a decent society by the crass commercial producers and distributors of hardcore pornography.
   
   
2. Children are harmed when the word “adult” is so often associated in our society with hardcore pornography - rather than with wholesome, loving, faithful, constructive behavior.
   
   
3. Children are harmed when their parents’ marriage is injured or destroyed by an addiction to hardcore pornography.
   
   
4. Children are harmed when their own addiction to hardcore pornography robs them of the opportunity to develop in a healthy manner psychologically, morally, and spiritually.
   
   
5. Children are harmed when they receive a sex miseducation from viewing hardcore pornography - almost all of which depicts adulterous, degrading, high-risk, perverse, promiscuous, or violent sexual behaviors.
   
   
6. Children are harmed when they are sexually abused by other children who imitate sexual behaviors they have viewed in hardcore pornography.
   
   
7. Children are harmed when they are sexually abused by adults who use hardcore pornography to stimulate themselves and to desensitize and instruct their child victims.
