This article is from the rec.arts.bodyart Welcome & Netiquette FAQ, by Heidi Anderson with numerous contributions by others.
If you are a parent, please don't be alarmed that your child is
reading rec.arts.bodyart. It's a great arena in which your child can
obtain factual information about body piercing and/or tattooing which
otherwise may not be readily available to them in any other manner. If
you don't want your child to have access to this newsgroup, please
discuss this with your child and their account system administrator.
It's important to know that just as it is your responsibility to
protect your child from things in your material world, you also need
to be responsible for protecting your child from inappropriate adult
material online. Please consider learning about the Internet with your
child, and help your child learn why some areas may not be safe or
appropriate for them to visit.
