You're misinformed if you think children above 1st graders have never heard the "f bomb." Also, what's the problem with them hearing a word? Can you explain how hearing an expressive curse word ruins your child's innocence? I mean, seriously, you sound like the type of parent that would never let their kid watch SpongeBob until their 16.

It's about use of the term being normalized. Children mimic the behaviour they observe. When they see people using curse words casually/often, they are less likely to see it as something to be avoided. This doesn't apply to all kids, but it does to some, hence the concern some parents have.
