whether parents are or are not exercising sufficient judgment, imo librarians should not be expected to be childminders Yes, that's the point. But the problem is that if you believe watching internet porn is bad for kids (an assumption, not a fact), and if you believe that somebody should intervene to stop them from watching it, then if you're going to take the librarians, who are right there, off the hook you have to dangle somebody else on the hook. Otherwise people will just say society is abrogating its obligations to its children. Which language, of course, is the problem -- they're not society's children, they're the parents' children. It doesn't take a village. It only takes two responsible parents.
