		<description><![CDATA[Basically the way I see it is that addict was set up from the very beginning. Without prior knowledge about this &quot;excitement&quot;, the stigma in our culture and the chastisement from his parents only fed right into his addiction making it worse which is just what Satan needs. I am a believer that punishing our kids for viewing pornography is so messed up that the child is going to have a lot of needless-shame (more than he/she already has) and escalate the situation. 

A solution would be to explain a shameless-perspective on why the Church is strongly set against this by seeing the natural consequences of what actually happens in terms of &quot;cause-and-effect&quot; (God&#039;s justice) and not actual, personal condemnation from the Lord and the Church. We can feel guilty without the shame. Another solution is to talk to our kids about masturbation, pornography, what it is, why to avoid it, and that if they view pornography to let the parents know about it and that they are NOT in trouble even if they are addicted as well as how common it is among us all.

This lack of isolation helps severe the chains of addiction that Satan sets up before they even begin to entangle themselves around the newly viewed porn user. Lastly, teach them about the Church&#039;s non-coercive principle of agency that they are free to choose for themselves what they will, with exception to certain property rights (i.e. the house), without the use of force and persuade the child not to look at pornography while saturating them with God&#039;s unconditional love that they may know a better way. That is how you win IMHO.]]></description>
