Whoa. This really hadn't registered:

Just a child doing something some parents might find acceptable and others might not. I certainly wouldn't impose my moral judgement on the child or parent.

Do you mean you wouldn't morally judge parents who allowed their children access to internet porn of the type I've described and many others, including kiddie porn? The eroticization of pain? Fetishes of one sort or another?

(There have been books written on these subjects and TV programs about them, and articles, too; I find it hard to imagine how you can't know the nature of the material children can be exposed to.)

You wouldn't think that was a sicko, creepy, irresponsible and at best stupid parent?

If I heard a parent was allowing his or her young children to browse those sites, I'd suspect the parent was getting some sort of sick gratification out of it. I'd make a moral judgment alright. Not of the child, of the adult.
