June 05, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A case currently winding its way through the Texas legal system is putting the idea of parental consent and parental intent to the test in a case where a father showed adult pornography to his three young daughters, apparently as part of a "birds and bees" talk. The issue was brought to the attention of authorities after the 8-year-old, during the course of a therapy session, revealed what the father had done. The case eventually fell to James Farren, the Randal County district attorney. The only problem?

If a parent consents to the viewing (and in this case the parent was actually the instigator), then no charges may be filed.
