I came across a interesting graphic chart called “The Numbers Behind Pornography”. It was pretty eye opening. And since a lot of parents are in the dark about what’s happening in the world of porn I thought this might be helpful. I’ve provided a link to the chart (below) but here are some of the numbers:

• “Only 3% of adult web sites require age verification”. No wonder it’s so easy for kids...

The fight to protect your kids from porn has gained an unusual ally. Apple, the makers of revolutionary products like the iPod, iPhone and iPad. Steve Jobs (Apple’s CEO) has commented in the past about keeping porn away from kids but in the last two month Jobs has made several statements regarding porn in connection with Apple products:

• According to CNNMoney.com during the iPhone OS 4.0...

My mom is a warrior. Not in the traditional sense. She doesn’t wield a sword or a machine gun but she still dispatches her foes with the same ferocious skills as Aragon or Rambo. My mom is always praying for her children (4 of them) and grandchildren (13 of them). I know her foes hate when she does that. As my mom closes her eyes I imagine this older woman transforming into this fierce...

I did an X3 Live broadcast with Craig Gross last month and it's available to watch now online. So to mix things up a little bit on the blog I thought it might be interesting to to post a link to this video. It starts off with Craig doing the intro on the topic "Porn and Parents" and then he throws it over to me. So if you're a parent that wants to protect your children from Internet porn check...

I spent the last week and a half on vacation with my family in Naples Florida. The beaches were amazing, everything was green and blooming and life had an easygoing pace. One day we went to Naples Pier. It’s a huge pier that goes way out into the ocean and it was packed with fishermen. We saw people catching all kinds of fish. One guy we walked by caught a shark. My kids were fascinated. The...

Most of us know what secondhand smoke is. It's tobacco smoke that is inhaled involuntarily by someone who is not smoking. We’ve heard about its dangers. It causes close to 50,000 deaths a year. It irritates the eyes, nose and throat. It can lead to coughing, excessive phlegm and chest discomfort. And secondhand smoke especially hurts children. Children exposed to secondhand smoke are more...

Who would have thought we’d have to worry about our kids taking nude pictures of themselves and sending them to their friends. Well “Sexting”, sending nude pictures via text messaging or the Internet, is here and we do need to worry about it. Why? Because according to a recent study by the “National Campaign to Prevent Teen & Unplanned Pregnancy” 20% of teens admit to participating in it. 20%!...

I had an interesting start to my New Year. I was at my office opening a package with the brand new Swiss Army knife I got for Christmas. The very sharp knife slipped and jabbed into the top of my index finger. I think it would have kept going if it did hit bone. Funny thing was it didn’t really hurt. It was shocking to look at but it wasn’t painful. The pain came later. I went to the doctors...

Have you ever gotten a crummy Christmas gift? As soon as you opened it you knew it was a dud. But you couldn’t just say out loud, “What kind of a crummy gift is this?”. So you put on your best smile and said, “Oh, you shouldn’t have.” And you really meant it. Now the person that got you the gift probably didn’t mean to get you something crummy. They may have spent a lot of time trying to get...

I bet you never thought of giving your kids Porn for Christmas. I’m pretty sure you’re not planning on putting the latest Porn DVD’s in your kids stocking or wrapping up a 1-year subscription to Hustler and putting that under the Christmas tree. But you still may be getting your kids porn for Christmas.

Sometimes we don’t think or don’t know about the unintended consequences of the...
