PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN!

From the matters that aid in raising children is keeping them away from all affairs that would ruin their good character. We keep them away from hearing illicit and immoral music and viewing impermissible things, women, debased films, and foul magazines - these are matters that we should protect our children against. However, if the father is the one who brings these things and puts them in front of his child, it will pave a path (and refuge is sought with Allāh) that leads to lewdness and the committing of forbidden acts.

So it is mandatory upon the father to protect his child against every matter that will cause him to fall into what Allāh has forbidden, into what displeases the Lord of the universe (تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَىٰ), like listening to music, watching filthy movies, reading lowly magazines, and what is similar to that. He must protect his children against these matters and keep it as far from them as possible.
