Over the last few years, my father has spent countless hours holed up in
his study on the computer. Because he’s such a boring person, it was a big family
joke that he was probably looking at porn. It wasn’t until a recent family vacation
when my sister borrowed our dad’s laptop that we learned that he really was
looking at porn. After we investigated his various computers (we wanted to believe
it was somehow a mistake), we discovered that a majority of the porn was of
quote-unquote “underage” girls. Some of it was rather hardcore stuff. I don’t
think my father has the savvy to find illegal child porn, so I doubt any of
the pictures he’s downloaded are of anyone who’s actually under 18.
Once we got over the initial repulsion (he even downloads stuff to his Palm
Pilot!), my sister became frightened for her...
