*Absolutely* we should protect the children from anything that might sully their darling little eyes. And ears.
I mean, look at me. All those Greek myths from the age of 5 onwards. Graduating to *gasp* Georgette Heyer at around age 10 or 11. And let's not mention when I was 13 and was the purveyor of smut in school. All those Harold Robbins and Jackie Collins I had stashed away in my school bag. (And if I'd known then about slash you can be damn sure I'd have had a stash of slash ready to hand out like smarties, too).
So, take my experience as a horrible learning lesson, oh children. Because, yes, it could happen to you too. After reading copious amounts of smut whilst underage you too could grow up to become... a lawyer!
The horror, the horror...
