[QUOTE=Elfwreck;2008540]What do you mean, "accessed by?" Children can't legally buy from Amazon; they can't agree to be bound by the TOS, and they can't have credit cards.

I believe [apologies if I am wrong] speakingtohe was referring to erotica focused on rape, incest and bestiality. Many of these titles are or have been free on Amazon or, if not, a sample can be viewed. For example this book or similar was free (I chose a mild one) http://www.amazon.com/Daddy-Daughter...2073228&sr=1-2

and may frighten a young girl and instruct a young boy. They may not understand the idea and concept of adult's fantasizing about such behavior.

Yes, violent books are prevalent. But many of those show the bad people being sought after and caught by the police. And then jailed by the justice system. They are good vs evil stories. An exception may be horror genre where the bad people are supernatural?
With certain types of erotica as mentioned above it is the reward or goal of the title's characters. It is not always viewed as wrong. This may confuse a young child. It is natural, that a parent may wish to determine age appropriate material and not let a corporation do so.
