NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)–Parents may now have a more urgent reason to monitor what their children watch on television, a new study suggests.
Researchers at Children’s Hospital Boston found that early teen sex may be linked to viewing adult content on television as children. The study tracked children from ages 6 to 18 and found that the sooner children began to view adult content on television programs and movies, the earlier they became sexually active during adolescence.
