Impact of Exposure to Sexually Explicit and Exploitive Materials

| By: Committee for Children

As electronic information sharing increases, parents must consider that their child may be exposed to sexually explicit and inappropriate content and the impact these materials may have on youth and adolescents. The National Coalition to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation encourages parents to have an ongoing dialogue with their children about materials they might encounter, explain possible consequences, and consistently monitor their children’s electronic activities.
