I don't think "it's play acting," said about the sorts of sadistic, sick stuff your hypothetical child will be exposed to unless you do something to see he or she is not, is an adequate response to the situation. Perhaps we have different ideas about what's available. A couple of years ago when we were all discussing this subject, I looked around the net to see what was available to kids. I didn't find that "sick stuff" you're talking about. I just looked at what was available for free--I wasn't sufficiently curious to pay to see what else was available--and what was available for free was fairly tame. I'm assuming that a kid in a library is not in a position to whip out his credit card and go for the sick stuff. Right now, magazines kids shouldn't see are kept out of sight and out of reach. Doesn't the requirement to provide a credit card number to get at the heavy-duty porn provide a similar barrier?
