Parents and police are concerned about new video technology that allows for the easy downloading of adult-only material onto portable devices.

The new video iPod from Apple, as well as many models of cellphones, allow for the downloading of video to the devices, such as legitimate programming such as music videos.

But users can also download graphic adult movie clips to the devices, meaning children could potentially watch whatever they want, whenever they want -- away from adult supervision.

Det. Ian Lamond of the Toronto Police Services Child Exploitation Unit told CTV News he believes some schools may eventually ban photo cellphones and iPods from school property.

"Technology is a great thing but it also makes everything bad, worse," Lamond said. "So anything that anyone wants to do illegally with an iPod or any other storage device can do that quite easily."

Technology expert Kris Abel said many parents believe their own safeguards on home computers are enough to protect their children.

But with Internet sites giving step by step easy instructions on how to put porn on your portable storage player, home computer safety programs might not be enough.

Abel said it's as simple as using one connecting wire to download adult images and kids can share questionable material with their friends.

Police say the family computer should be kept in an area where everyone can see it, so you can watch what your children are downloading.
