title: [Confrontation of children and adolescents with pornography].
abstract: The author describes the influence of pornography on children, focusing on pornographical material on the web. Most children escape almost uninjured from visualization of pornography. However some are either traumatized, or precipitated in a strict perversion. The consequences on adolescents are similar, though more complex. The hypersexualization of teenagers may become complicated by addiction (so called internet addiction disorder: IAD), isolation, and perversion. Recommendations for the parents are presented.
