Children need to know. 

They need to find out as much as they can as fast as they can in order to arm themselves against the world.

It isn't doing them any favours to thwart their curiosity.

By all means protect them from predators, but protecting them from ideas and images is itself a form of abuse.

Do you really think children are angels? Get real. Have you forgotten everything?

Children are animals. 

I was far more depraved at six than I am now.

You're raising a whole new issue here- the question of what we do to protect damaged adults and I've got to say I find this really difficult. All my instincts are against censorship. And sometimes a writer wants to deliver a cathartic shock by introducing something shocking "out of the blue"- and to flag it up in advance would spoil the effect.
