It was, but it's now gotten much worse and is more blatant.

As most boys go through puberty they will start to find the opposite sex sexually attractive, including some of their teachers. This would have been kept private & discreet, but the teacher on the news yesterday basically said that a boy had said to her that he wanted to **** her. We would never have dared say that 50 years ago.

The correlation between watching online porn and sexual abuse is very high and they see it now as acceptable which is worrying.

It'll only get worse as children will be desensitized enough to want or need to copy what they see online which will only get worse as well.
Exactly. One of the main problems is kids now having access to online porn, so Ofcom is currently looking at ways to try and prevent them accessing it.
