DD saw bad internet site, now what?

[tls]

My 6 year old daughter stumbled upon a terrible pornographic website yesterday. Thank goodness she told me about it but now she has seen some disgusting things. I have no idea what to do. The only thing she asked is what was the gross thing the naked girls were eating. I nonchalantly closed the website and told her yah it was just gross and she didn't need to look at it. I've now installed a parental control program but the damage has been done. Should I try an talk to her more about it or just let it pass as though it was nothing. She hasn't asked about it again since seeing it but should I bring it up again to teach her about bad web sites? But then what do I tell her about what she saw? She doesn't know anything about the deed yet. I'm disgusted and sad that she saw what she did. Does anyone have information about what to do in this situation? Thanks.

I would probably keep it very simple but make sure she knows she is free to ask you questions if she is still confused about what she saw or feels uncomfortable about something she remembers.

I probably would mention it because she might still be concerned about it but not mention it. My ds is younger (almost 4) but if he saw something like that I would probably say something like:

"I wanted to talk to you a little more about what you saw when you were using the internet yesterday and why I said you didn't need to see that stuff. Grownups have lots of different opinions about what they like to look at and about what kinds of things are okay to look at in pictures. Some people like to look at pictures of other people naked and touching each other or playing with each other's bodies. Daddy and I don't think these are good things to look at because this kind of touching is something grownup couples do as a way of being loving to each other and is something private. Even more importantly, the pictures you saw are not intended for children and so we put a program in the computer to stop things like this showing up when you are using it. I'm sorry I didn't do that before. If you have any other questions you want to ask about what you saw, you can ask us any time."

Sounds like good advice. I am so sorry this happened, too! Just want to offer some support for the sadness you have about this. Ugh.

That's a really tricky one. Ugh ugh double ugh.
