Society pays the consequences either directly from government or the impact the kids have on everyone else that has to live with adults that discovered porn as a kid before they could understand it.

Kids that discovered porn at an early age will not understand how to process it properly and this will impact their relationships in the future. It is their future partners that suffer along with the kids and family.

If that's really the case, the only person who should be punished is the parent. Everyone else should not be punished with a more restricted society.

How do you punish the parent without punishing the kid? Throw the single mom in jail? fine her? take the kid away?

If the kid is living with single-income grandma, b/c parents passed. Do we throw grandma in jail for not blocking the content properly?

Yes punish the parent, and have the kid adopted by another family. That is much better than turning society into a police state where everyone's rights limited.
