Also, kids rape other kids. All the time. Very often they have no fucking idea that's what they're doing, because nobody explains anything to them. Our society is hypersexual and hyperfocused on man-penis-in-woman-vagina (or in-woman-ass if you're feeling freaky) sex in a way that you cannot fathom. i knew what anal sex was about 8 years before i learned it was okay to say "no" to sex. fun ambiant misogyny fact: it took me another 2 years to learn that women also masturbated. i was 16. do the maths in reverse for this paragraph to be even more horrifying.

"Thankfully", kids have access to the internet. They are, we were, and they will always be smarter than you about going online, and you cannot do anything about it. They will find the places where someone is there to explain them all that confusing sex stuff, and if it has to be shady chatrooms that are unmoderated, then so be it. Today it doesn't even have to be that: mass social media is algorithmically moderated in a way that makes effective control impossible. Someone will DM them. Any online restriction is useless in the face of kids who are curious and unwilling to seek a trusted, responsible adult to ask embarrassing questions.

Corollary: Unless you have lived it yourself, you cannot imagine what growing up queer and isolated with an unsupervised internet access can cause in terms of sexual damage.

Kids are not going to be safe unless their first reflex is to go to you as their parent/trusted adult after seeing something shocking and be 1000000% fucking sure they will not be in trouble or make you upset. and kids are extremely receptive to adults being upset. Kids are not going to be safe until our culture fucking upends itself.
