A few years ago , a parenting magazine asked me to write an article about the that children face when they go online . As it turns out , I was the wrong author for the article they had in mind .

The editor was deeply by my initial draft . Its chief message was this : " Sure , there are . But they're hugely overhyped by the . The tales of pedophiles luring children out of their homes are like plane crashes : they happen extremely rarely , but when they do , they make headlines everywhere . The Internet is just another facet of socialization for the new generation ; as always , common sense and a level head are the best . "

My editor , however , was looking for something more sensational . He asked , for example , if I could dig up an opening anecdote about , say , an eight - year - old getting killed by a chat - room stalker . But after days of research ? and yes , I actually looked at the Google results past the first page ? I could not find a single example of a preteen getting and by an Internet predator .

So the editor sent me the contact for several parents of young children with Internet horror , and suggested that I interview them . One woman , for example , told me that she became when her eight - year - old stumbled onto a pornographic photo . She told me that she literally dove for the computer , crashing over a chair , yanking out the power cord and then her daughter outside .

You know what ? I think that far more damage was done to that child by her mother's reaction than by the dirty picture .

See , almost the same thing happened at our house . When my son was 7 years old , he was Googling " The Incredibles " on the that we keep in the kitchen . At some point , he pulled up a doctored picture of the Incredibles family , showing them naked .

" What ? on ? earth ? " he said in surprise .

I walked over , saw what was going on , and closed the window . " Yeah , I know , " I told him . " Some people like of naked people . The Internet is full of all kinds of things . " And life went on .

My thinking was this : a seven - year - old is so far from , naked pictures don't yet have any of the that we adults associate with them . Sex has no meaning yet ; the concept produces no emotional charge one way or another .

Today , not only is my son utterly unscarred by the event , I'm quite he has no memory of it whatsoever .

Now , I realize that not everybody shares my nonchalance . And again , it's not hard to find scattered anecdotes about things that happen online .
