Child Internet Search Liability

Summary

Minors are typically not held legally responsible for accidentally accessing inappropriate content online. In cases where a middle schooler searches for sensitive material like bestiality out of curiosity, the child is generally not at fault. It is important for parents to provide guidance and educate children about internet safety. Legal responsibility often lies with website operators to implement age restrictions and warnings. If there are concerns about exposure to inappropriate content, parents may consider using parental controls and discussing internet safety with their children.
