Open letter to ChildLine: Stop normalising the use of pornography to children

Pornography is evil. Please keep our children safe, and produce material that makes this crystal clear. Thank-you.

There is no place or justification for this type of material irrespective of age.

All pornography is harmful to the human mind and results in the de-humanisation of the people taking part and especially those voyeuring this material. All pornography treats people as pieces of meat and will corrupt and deform the impressionable minds of young people.

I have been wary of ChildLine for a long time, and this has only served to confirm my suspicions.

Sexualising children is somehow okay now!!? WTF. They're children! Pornography is having a destructive effect on society as it is, and exposing children to it is a massive red flag for paedophilia.

Has anyone actually checked NSPCC are still endorsing this? They aren't, as the video only exists on the specific youtubers page. Its not on Childline website, or on NSPCC Youtube. The majority of valuable research and campaigning regarding keeping children safe from pornography like this has been created by NSPCC. Is anyone thinking about the impact that petitions like this will make on a charity that is working hard during a difficult period of time to protect children, or is this just to promote your own organisation? I accept you have the best interests of children at heart, but I'm a donator to this charity and how many staff will ill-informed complaints like this take away from their important work?

Who thinks this is correct or helpful filling immature minds with porn is playing with fire.

NSPCC have lost their way :(

Stop showing young children pornographic material. It should be a criminal offence to do so.

This video is incredibly misjudged and even contains a "joke" about adult males having sex with underage girls. No child should be watching this.

Children's minds are innocent. Stop normalising porn!!!!!!

The idea of "presenting porn" to CHILDREN in 6 minutes is sickening!

I have no problem with porn per se, but it appears as if 99.9% of those movies are made BY men FOR men. And those men create endless scenarios in which women have no voice, no opinion and no power. That is NOT what I would want my female children to see. Especially not while they are CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoever came up with this BS should be fired and removed from any child-related positions. Maybe working in a men‘s prison would be good for those who made this educational video!?!

Disappointed

Why would you ever think this was a good idea ? put a stop to it Safeguard Children that should be your number 1 concern

I am trying to work out how I save my children from porn culture. The last thing I need is childline (whose number they were taught to sing in primary school) normalising hardcore and BDSM porn to them.

Let children be children!

We don't want our kids seeing this filth.

This is grooming girls to accept that sexual violence against women is normal and legitimate entertainment for men.

Porn must not be normalised. Children should not be exposed to potentially damaging images which are based on exploitation.
