- Three Quarters of Teens Exposed to Porn by 17 – One State Just Launched These New Protections
- Legislators in Louisiana recently enacted a new law to require age verification for accessing adult websites. House Bill 142 – now called Act 440 – passed with bipartisan support.
- According to a report by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit child advocacy group, three-quarters of teenagers have viewed pornography online by the age of 17, with the average age of first exposure at age 12.
- Lisa Thompson, NCOSE Vice President of Research, said porn’s well-documented harms to kids are devastating.
- “Everything from depressive symptoms, low self-esteem, reduced grades in school, more adoption of sexist attitudes, greater involvement in risky sexual behaviors and even engaging in exploitative activities with other children,” Thompson told CBN News.
