Justin Berry Goes To Washington

I am listening to C-SPAN right now and 19 year old Justin Berry is testifying. What a brave kid. It can't be easy to do what he is doing...telling members of Congress about his internet porn business, one that he started when he was 13 years old...

This is so frightening, so real, and I am afraid, not uncommon. This kid was in deep.

Here is a NY Times article:

Child Sex as Internet Fare, Through Eyes of a Victim

Parents, there are things you can do.
1. Talk to your kids when they are young, do not wait until they are 12 or 13.
2. Keep the Internet out of the bedroom, computers are okay, but internet connections are not.
3. Know what your kids are up to.
4. NO web cams!

The Internet is a wonderful tool, use it wisely.
