    CROUSE: Parents must protect kids from porn

    The average age of first exposure to Internet pornography is 11, often because of stumbling onto sites while doing homework. Children searching "White House" can easily end up typing "com" instead of "gov" and end up at a porn site. Type into Google's image search engine words such as "pretty," "beautiful," "cute" or virtually any girl's name, and if the safe-search filter is not properly activated, many of the images that come up are sexually explicit in the extreme. Pornographers purchase domain names knowing that Web surfers can unintentionally end up at their site.
