Every child deserves to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment—free from harm, harassment, and exposure to inappropriate content. Unfortunately, many children face the devastating effects of harmful content, whether it’s in schools, libraries, or online. At POC, we are dedicated to raising awareness and advocating for legislative changes to protect children from such exposure.

The Impact of Harmful Content on Children

Exposure to inappropriate content can have serious consequences for a child’s emotional, psychological, and cognitive development. Children are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of harmful material, which can include:

• Emotional Distress: Exposure to violence, explicit content, or harmful ideas can lead to anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues.
• Academic Challenges: Children distracted or traumatized by harmful content may struggle to concentrate or perform in school.
• Distorted Social Norms: Inappropriate content can alter a child’s understanding of healthy relationships and boundaries.

Our Mission: Prevention and Advocacy

At POC, we believe prevention is key to protecting children from the harmful effects of inappropriate content. We are focused on:

1. Raising Awareness: Educating parents, educators, and the community about the risks of exposure to harmful content in public spaces like schools and libraries.
2. Advocating for Legislative Change: Pushing for stronger regulations that protect children from harmful content in schools, libraries, and online platforms. Our goal is to bring about policies that safeguard children and create safe, nurturing spaces for them to grow.
