Parents are being warned against a children’s free gaming website that lures children to play explicit adult games.
Unsuspecting children are being lured to play animated sex games through the website,�Funny-Games.biz/, that appears to be a children’s gaming site which was designed with bright,�multicoloured banners and child-like fonts and words.
It is listed as�Google’s top site when searching for funny games and even encourages children to play with friends. Over�100 interactive Flash games are featured on the front page, which parents may not have a cause for concern, until you scroll to the bottom of the page, and read under the “Want More” heading.
A hidden link embedded under “online sex games,” links directly to adult content. The sex games feature graphic sexual scenarios�and links and adverts for real-life pornographic content pop-up within this area.
The site also has a forum section, which is�linked from the main page, that appears to have been used for grooming children under seemingly innocent headings such as�”Homework Help”.
There are also posts such as “Like Young Boys”, where many pictures with young boys online have been swapped. The writer of the post had also�posted similar child sex-related forum posts. Administrators blocked the forum from accepting new users and comments last year, but�the posts are still available.
Web developer Daniel Van Leeuwen, from Lion Websites in Sydney,�said that the site�has been operating since 2004. “There is evidence that this website was set up originally with the intent of combining children’s games and adult sex games within the one site,” he said.
Senior clinical psychologist and director of The Resilience Centre, Lyn Worsley, said parents must be concerned about gaming sites such as�this one.�She said pornography takes away children’s innocence and normalises behaviour that is not normal for them. She adds that�the games on this site advocate rape and male dominance, giving children a sense that that conduct is OK.
Dr Worsley also said that if children stumbled across this type of site, she advised parents�to be ready to have an explicit sex talk with their child and not just tell their child not to access�the site.
“You have to go through an open conversation about what might happen if someone clicks on these things.
“You have to explain that it’s not OK and that they are not allowed to touch other people’s bodies, unless they have permission,” she said.
Preparing�kids�to be internet savvy is a way of protecting them from being groomed. Parent supervision of all online activity their children participate in is the key here.
It is advised that parents who find offensive or illegal content should�report it anonymously at www.esafety.gov.au.

I get what you’re saying, and yeah, those cases where people meet as adults can explain why the attraction happens.…
