As if parents didn’t have enough of a reason to hesitate to give their 10-year-olds cell phones, now they have to worry that the devices will be loaded with images that are quite a bit more graphic than what kids will see in elementary school sex-ed videos.

A little more than a month after a Detroit woman bought a phone loaded with explicit footage, a Colorado boy found a dirty text and video on a phone his parents bought him.

“It’s scary, trying to explain to a child what’s there and what it is, it’s unfair to him,” the boy’s mother told TV station KDVR 31.

A manager at the shop where the phone was purchased told KDVR that they erased some of the lewd material but didn’t think to wipe the texts. The store issued the family a refund.
