What do you think about the constant surveillance on children/teens by their own parents and the long term psychological trauma it may leave behind from knowingly being monitored 24/7?

Children used to go out, do things, come home. Now children have zero privacy. Into the teen years, they can't get into trouble, learn, socialize, etc. They just sit at home because their parents are constantly watching their GPS location and reading their texts.

Is porn worse than the damage done by the mistrust?

I wasn't supervised 24/7 but didn't have access to porn 24/7 in a second either, lads shared some old magazines someone nicked from a father most likely. It sure did need a bit more effort to get a playboy from your corner store.

My daughter came home from the playground where 10 year old guys showed her hardcore anal porn from mobile because it's funny.
