Exposure to pornography harms children so much that it should be considered child abuse, Australia’s Catholic bishops have said.
A commission of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference gave a statement to a senate committee in their nation last month.
The committee was making an inquiry into the harm of Internet pornography.
“Children have a right to be children, away from the pressures applied by advertising and other images on television and the Internet for them to dress and act as mini-adults,” the bishops’ commission stated.
“Bombarding children with sexualized images can hurt their normal development.”
