Myth on Childhood Innocence new article content ...
The myth of childhood innocence is based on moral panics created by adults in society who believe children are innocent and should be protected at all costs from potential dangers until their old enough, and smart enough, to protect themselves. According to Danah Boyd, author of the book 'It's Complicated,' which explores the relationship between the social lives teens and digital media, myths about the dangers facing teens are based on real incidents that are exaggerated to create fear which in turn create more barriers for teams to navigate through while also attempting to create their own identity. This dynamic then creates the illusion within society that children and teens are innocent and 'don't know what's good for them.'
