CHILDREN: All persons seventeen (17) years of age or younger.
HARMFUL: A thing shall be deemed to be harmful to children when "obscene" or "violent" as defined herein:
(1). A thing is "obscene" for children, when taken as a whole, if:
(a). To the average child, applying contemporary community standards, it appeals to the prurient interest;
(b). Depicts or describes patently offensive representations or descriptions of nude persons, ultimate sexual acts including intercourse (whether actual or simulated), normal or perverted sexual conduct (whether actual or simulated), and masturbation, excretory functions and lewd exhibitions of the human genitals, pubic region, buttocks or female breasts; and
(c). Lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. Each of these three (3) elements shall be applied in terms of what the adult community judges is appropriate for children.
(2). A thing is "violent" for children:
(a). When its theme or plot is devoted primarily or substantially to patently offensive deeds or acts of brutality or violence (whether actual or simulated), such as, but not limited to, assaults, cuttings, stabbings, shootings, beatings, sluggings, floggings, eye gougings, brutal kicking, burnings, dismemberments and other reprehensible conduct to the persons of human beings or to animals; and
(b). Which, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.
Both of these elements shall be applied in terms of what the adult community, applying contemporary standards, judges is appropriate for children.
