How can adults protect children from exposure to sexually explicit, sex trade advertising in these circumstances?
Cars and buses drive children to and from school past this pornographic ad. One mother reported to us that her child asked about “the dollhouse.” @OLGRQLD

@YvetteDAth @OLGRQLD @justiceQLD does liquor licensing allow the sex trade to advertise to kids?

Where is the choice to “not look” here? People do not drive with their eyes closed.
