Steve Hilton has warned that children are being allowed to "experience the adult world too soon because we're too lazy or too weak to properly invigilate."

The result, he says, is a culture where girls think they have to look like pornography actresses and boys lose 'any moral or cultural restraint to treat girls with respect or affection.'

Mocking culture
Hilton wrote: "Our culture mocks the notion of childhood innocence. We don't treat children like children any more. We treat them like something they're not: adults."

And he cautioned that "premature sexualization gives children incorrect notions of healthy sex and relationship dynamics."

Accepting that internet-connected devices "have brought entertainment and education," he also warned that they have "erased the boundaries between the child and adult worlds."

Unhealthy sexual norms

"Let's not blame 'kids today' for these trends," he said, adding that it was adults' fault for "failing to set up" sensible boundaries.

Hilton called for a ban on smartphones and tablets for children to "protect under-16s from unsupervised content."

"They need the freedom to play, to interact in the world, to discover themselves. They don't need the freedom to roam the internet," he concluded.
