Are you comfortable with children being exposed to images of girls examining their vaginas in the mirror?  How about books that teach your child to masturbate?  Or a novel that repeatedly describes, in graphic detail, sex acts which can only be described as rape, incest and sexual assault?  What would you say is the appropriate context for showing a child a drawing of an adult man, kneeling, with his belly bulging over his exposed testicles?  

These sexually explicit books are in our South-Central Regional Libraries and the board has no intention of removing them.  

Our laws were made to protect our children.  The Criminal Code of Canada makes it clear that child pornography is illegal and teaching a child under 16 to perform sexual acts is illegal.  

By signing the following petition, you are amplifying our request to the South Central Regional Library board, which was the following:

…that any children’s books, or age 0-17 books, teach sexual touching or could be used for grooming purposes, are removed from all South CentralRegional Libraries.

These are our children.  Our bottom line.  Our future.  Enough is enough.  Say ‘NO’ to sexually explicit books being made available to our kids.
