“A 9-year-old was nice but ended up with something naughty after receiving a porn-filled tablet for Christmas,” CBS-13 Sacramento reports. “‘She’s seen two videos, pornographic videos. What am I going to tell my 9-year-old?’ said Kanisha Morning.”
Morning’s family Christmas was ruined. What she showed CBS13 on her 9-year-old daughter’s brand new [Zeki] Android tablet was disturbing. We witnessed extremely graphic sex videos, the same videos possibly seen by her daughter Christmas morning,” CBS-13 reports. “Morning noticed an unusual expression on her daughter’s face. ‘An awkward look on her face and at the same time I’m asking her ‘what’s wrong;’ and she’s handing me the tablet saying ‘mommy what’s this?” she said.”
CBS-13 reports, “Who knows how many times this has happened and no one said anything about it,” she said. “Another one could be on its way to another kid.”

MacDailyNews Take: WTF is a Zeki tablet? Talk about inviting problems in order to “save” a few bucks. Sheesh.
You should’ve bought a real iPad.
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “Peter G.” for the heads up.]
If I asked for an iPad and got something like that I wouldn’t even have opened it.
Google is your friend, when it comes down to finding porn inadvertantly.
When you Google (in Dutch): “Dog helping in housekeeping”, then the first hit is a porn site.
I’d buy that for a dollar!
Finally a reason to buy an Android tablet.
BTW, I had a particularly bad Kanisha Morning after I contracted a bad case of Barack Obama.
Shit on a Bush. You’ll feel a lot better.
Depressing, isn’t it?
At least porn does not kill people. You know what I mean.
I do agree. They should have bought an iPad. If you want to prepare a kid for real life go to the iTunes Store. Lots of their games are great training apps for shooting and killing.
Not to say that immature children have to have access to porn, but a 9 year old child already has to have knowledge how people appear. There should be nothing specifically revealing in those porn videos, no explanations from the mother should be needed. “Yes, adults sometimes engage in that, it is natural behaviour of every adult human.”.
It kills the parent inside irrespective of the make. Zeki tablets run Android, probably a very early version. The mother should sue Digital Products, Inc., the manufacturer and throw Google into the frame for both te fun of it and for a possible deep pockets’ settlement, either in a New York City Small Claims Court or another court with jurisdiction over this negligence. Win or lose, with or without damages awarded with a win, the publicity could do great harm to DPI and/or to Google.
I say good luck, and buy Apple next time out unless the iPad Mini is out of the question. Maybe Google would agree to cough up a Nexus tablet for the girl, as well.
Wow. what happened to the commenters on this site?
CBS-13 reports, “Who knows how many times this has happened and no one said anything about it,” she said. “Another one could be on its way to another kid.”
Perhaps that’w why she should have checked out the device before giving it to her kid.
The parent should have also turned on Parental Controls.
Do you open all your items you give as a gift to test them out? Remember, they bought a Zeki Tablet so even if you do open the items before hand, they obviously didn’t have the brains to do so… but that goes without saying
If you’re worried about your kids seeing porn, yes you should.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened.
I can’t possibly imagine ANYONE every unboxing and testing a product they bought from a legitimate store, to make sure it is right, before they re-box the whole thing and wrap it as a gift. Vast majority of products have some sort of a seal (a sealed plastic bag, or blister pack, or sealing sticker on an envelope) that must be visibly broken in order to get to the product. Would anyone in their right mind every want to do this for a gift? What kind of gift would it be if it has been opened before?
The suggestion makes zero sense.
The fault for this one sits squarely with the no-name brand and nobody else. Certainly NOT on the consumer.
Message for parents: check the stuff you buy your kids, before you give it to them, particularly when you are buying cheap Chinese knockoff shit.
This particular item wasn’t store bought, but that doesn’t help if the image the manufacturer–in this case an ultra cheap outfit that probably was using software copied from another manufacturer-was using had porn on it. Target isn’t going to know there’s a problem until someone complains, and how many cheap android tablets go anywhere other than from being unwrapped to the bottom of a desk drawer?
And if it comes from the store? You have to check it—you can never be sure that what you are buying isn’t something someone opened, reshrinkwrapped, and returned as new.
And this doesn’t apply in this case, but anyone that buys an open box item and hands it straight to a child needs to be sterilized.
Zeki has many fine retail partners:

She shouldn’t have bought it on Craig’s List.
It was ordered from Target. The creation date on that porn file was sometime in June, and it appeared to be an amateur video shot at someone’s home. The box was factory-sealed when it arrived.
I’d like to see that assembly operation at this company; how would one sneak a file onto one (or more) of their tablets.
The device apparently isn’t even a legitimate Android licensee — they aren’t allowed to pre-install Google Apps (Android Market/ Google Play, Gmail, Google Maps, etc).
My comment was actually a joke given the reputation of Craig’s List.
Score! Free porn! *ahem* I’m just gonna confiscate this for a little bit. Mommy needs to copy some files. Oh, but trust me hon, in a few years, all the boys will want to do this with you, and you’ll want to with them. Mommy and Daddy used to. That’s how we got you.
Shucks, all I got was a kindle preloaded with 50 shades of grey.
Lucky kid…
Where is that oriental wife locator ad when you need it…
