Parents from Union County in North Carolina are furious after learning children were able to access pornography on their school-issued laptops in class.
A mother called Channel 9 after two separate incidents at Parkwood Middle School, in Monroe, last week.
The mother, who did not want to be identified, said her 11-year-old son watched as another student pulled up hardcore pornography on his Chromebook during class.
“He was in tears. He said it was disgusting, and he wished he could unsee it,” the mother said.
The mother said a few days later, her son saw it happen again amidst a group of students looking at the porn on a Chromebook in the school cafeteria.
The mother said when she went to school officials, they told her the students are very smart, they’ll get around anything they do, and all they can do as a school is monitor it the best they can.
Google should and must assist schools further by default turning on the filtering tools and setting them at a level that would block most, if not all, pornographic content.
