Oh YUCK!!!!!

I have never had this happen to me before. I was shopping around for some "kids room decor" on the internet when disgusting, triple X, adult photos popped up! YUCK! How I got from kids room decor to porn I have NO IDEA! I was on a site, shopping away when the site paused and a box said "do you want to download 'something?" I don't remember what the "something" was but it DID NOT SAY ANYTHING THAT WOULD LEAD ME TO BELIEVE IT WAS PORN! I tried and tried to just "delete" the box because I don't download things that I don't know what they are. But it wouldn't delete. Then I tried deleteing the page I was on and it wouldn't let me. So I finally decided to just tell it to download and then I would cancel it out. The minute I hit "Ok" to download the disgusting filth appeared.

It totally freaked me out because my children were in the room when this happened. Thankfully they were busy talking to their Dad and did not even glimpse the horrific images. However, what if it had been my children on the internet with this box insisting they "download"? They are young and don't go on the internet that often and I am always close by when they are on the computer but I naively thought that this kind of thing really couldn't happen. I mean we have "pop up blocker" right? My eyes are now opened to a new possibility of my children's eyes and hearts being assaulted and frankly I'm afraid to let them go on the internet now. My I.T. savvy husband is going to look for "cookies" or whatever to see if there is a hook into our computer somewhere but I don't know when I will feel comfortable letting my kids on the computer again.

Oh the depravity, oh the humanity. Father, save us from ourselves!
