Think back to your childhood playground. Do you remember little Tommy pinching little Susie’s butt? Or little Sally chasing little Archie around to get a kiss? Do you remember little Joe flipping up girls’ skirts? Is it all just innocent child-play? Not according to a new study, it isn’t. The study from the American Association ...

The US Department of Homeland Security, on the prowl for child predators, created a website promoting Ontario as a destination for child-sex tourism. Precious Treasure Holiday Company was designed to “set up” encounters in Ontario for pedophiles. Active for a year and a half, the site received 140,000 hits and brought about four convictions of ...

For parents, sex education is a strange mix of awkwardness and controversy. Not everyone is comfortable with sex, even as an adult, and that may effect how (or if) they talk about sex with their kids. Most people agree that parents should have some sort of sex talk with their kids, but a recent sex ...

When it comes to sex, parents want to shield their children as much as possible. It’s understandable that they would rather them get their learners’ permits before driving in the fast lane, but eventually kids will grow up, drive fast and have sex. The UK government is trying to slow down this process by introducing ...

The job of a parent is to nurture their kids without spoiling them. Or at least, that was the old job description. The new goal of parenthood is to create a kid so cool, they notice just how lame you really are. A child never forgets the day she looks up at her Dad and ...

Barbie is our favourite doll to hate, but there are actually worse dolls on the market. Liz Nord takes on the toys that want to turn our kids into Bratz. The Bratz dolls are wearing ten pounds of make up and such skimpy clothing that they look like prostitutes. I am confused why these dolls are selling ...

Fucking French Vogue and it’s juvenile need for attention. The magazine is back with another oh-so-shocking photo spread. We know it’s art because it is upsetting our delicate bourgeois sensibilities. No, it’s not pregnant women drinking and smoking this time. And they managed to avoid putting anyone in blackface. In fact, it’s quite humdrum for ...

A naked adult around little kids sends off immediate warning bells, but what if they both live in a nudist colony? Although there are more than 10 naturist colonies in Florida, the Department of Children and Families does not have a policy regarding children in these living conditions. “There are currently no rules or regulations ...

Christmas is in the air and ads are on the airwaves with ideas about how we want to fill our Santa’s Wish List. The most insidious ones are aimed at children. They work hard at getting kids to manipulate, cajole and whine their way to filled stockings, but what other messages are hidden in these ...

Your family is expanding. Who would you rather pick? Option A has a reputation for good personal hygiene, cleanliness and impeccable manners. Option B has a reputation for being loud, drooling, stealing food and licking his balls on the couch. A third of Americans say they would pick Option B (perhaps because the only balls ...
