Okay, lets back up here. You are upset because your children are reading this website. First and foremost, let me make something clear -- no five-year old needs to be mindlessly surfing the internet. And why may I ask are you so concerned about your children reading this website while on the internet? I would personally be much more concerned about my son seeing the photographs of soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners or the video of the al-Qaida decapitating an American citizen. But, never the less, if you are so concerned with what your children are seeing then you need to be the one monitering their usage, not complaining to people you have never seen before to hold back thier feelings.
Also, why don't you take a moment to actually look at what you are doing. Rather than spending quality time with your children you are on the internet slanderizing people's writing. Now I am almost 100% certain that your kids are probably parked in front of the television or a video game while you are doing this, the same way they are in front of the computer when you are out. Why don't you consider actually being a parent to your children. Rather than wasting time on this website, you could be with your kids reading a book, going swimming, playing in the park, but no, instead your kids are off doing Lord knows what while you sit on the internet trying your best to make sure that everything your kids see is lollipops and bubblegum.
There is so much wrong with this situation I don't even know where to take it. Let's say you do shut down Jolt Country. What about all the other wicked sites? What about the pornographic websites? You gonna shut down everything on the internet that you find that is not peachy? There is always going to be something out there that someone objects to. Just deal with it. Live with it. People have a right to say what they want, where they want, when they want. "Ice Cream Jonsey" does NOT have you in mind when he is writing, I can guarantee.
Just do me a favor and be a parent to your children. Don't hide and shelter them from the world, I promise you that it will not have good results. Perhaps if you had been doing your job in the first place, rather than shoving your kids in front of a screen to keep them away from you for five minutes, this would not be an issue. By the way, I am also a parent.
