Exposing Children To Pornography Is Grooming, So Why Do Schools Get Away With It?

Schools have made pornographic images available to children in our schools in the school library. Sometimes, books are available to children in the school library or on the library App. Many of these books contain pornographic images.

This is considered a tool that sexual predators use in order to groom children in order to abuse them. From: Grooming, Know the Warning Signs: 

Desensitization to touch and discussion of sexual topics: Abusers will often start to touch a victim in ways that appear harmless, such as hugging, wrestling and tickling, and later escalate to increasingly more sexual contact, such as massages or showering together. Abusers may also show the victim pornography or discuss sexual topics with them, to introduce the idea of sexual contact.

So why is it ok for schools to provide this kind of obscene content to children in our public schools? That’s a good question. Many of our public schools now make these books available to children and actually defend this. Some parents have challenged these books, only to be told this is book banning. Well, it’s not book banning because that would mean no one could access the book. These books are still available to buy, and accessible by adults.

So why do public schools make pornographic books available to children, knowing that this is a way for predators to groom children?

Why are pornographic websites banned from their iPads at school? Why is one form of pornography ok for them, but another is not?

None of this makes any sense. You just need to know that this is now available for children to access in their school library or on their Sora App.

If these books are used as a way to groom a child in school by a predator, no one will take responsibility for that. They will all look at each other with a blank stare on their face if you confront them. No one will take responsibility for your child’s sexual abuse.

What can you do? Well the first question to ask is, how do you trust anyone in a school that thinks this is ok?
Then figure out how quickly you can remove your child from that environment.
