Last year, Crystal said her ex-husband showed pornography on a home computer to their two girls, who were eight and nine years old at the time. It happened in Randall County in West Texas.
Crystal believes the incident happened last February. She learned about it months later because her daughters told a counselor. Immediately Crystal contacted police. She wanted prosecutors to file charges against her ex-husband, but there was a roadblock.
Texas law says minors can view pornography if they're accompanied by a parent or guardian. It was originally designed to allow for sex education.
Crystal has partnered with the Dallas-based Lillian Smith Foundation, a family violence foundation, to get the law-re-written. "I think it needs to say it's illegal for all adults to show children porn," said JJ Smith, the President of the Lillian Smith Foundation.
Can you imagine anything creepier than this? I don't believe there is a strictly educational porno that exists. There is no way someone thought that this was a good idea for educational purposes but this is Texas we're talking about. One would think this would be an easy law to repeal but Texas is also the state that allows you to drink with your parents, so maybe I'm completely wrong. Maybe Texas is very (creepily) family oriented.
Family first!
