Roger;
I can see where you coming from. Being a mother of 5, 3 of which are ferocious
readers, I didn't "protect" what they were reading during the early years. On a
bookstore outing one afternoon, my then 9-year old picked up a book that I
didn't pay much attention to which was a erotic book by the author Zane. After
we were home and she was reading the book, I asked what did she purchase and
after she told me, I was upset (to say the least) After a intense dialogue with
her about her selection of the book, she informed me that she had already one
of her books from her older sister and this is when the lightbulb came on for
me. Like I said I had never censored the older children from what they were
reading, honestly, it was out-of-sight-out-of-mind for me. The book I would
like to scan has some really graphic scenes in it and although I feel one way
when it comes to this, I still would like to be considerate of others feelings
about the subject.
I am taking this topic like the debate over whether to send your child to the
time-out/naughty chair or pop/whip (or in South Carolina country terms cut
their rear ends. Getting the whipping worked for me and I am as sane as I can
be (by my definition, at least) whereas another adult is traumatized by the
act. *shrug*
