Yeah, that's the thing. You have to hope people won't do that.
I know my dad told my cousin, whose young daughter had gotten into Harry Potter, about fanfiction. I started frantically trying to interject, and fortunately he caught my head shaking and amended: "But a lot of them are very mature, so you should be careful." (My parents knew what was out there, because I was a teen when I got into fandom, and decided it was better they hear from me, rather than see the kinds of sites I was going to and think I was reading that stuff. Which I honestly wasn't, it was just... all there.)
