Nah, parents are as irresponsible as ever. Porn was like gold when I was a kid, now everyone has the internet.
Used to be you'd find an old carboard box in the woods and it was full of old porno mags and that discovery would motivate you to maybe one day go to college and see a real boob. Now everyone's got a phone and every phone has unfettered access to anything you can imagine.
Actually, yes, as far as I know. Happened to me on multiple occasions.
I doubt anyone was hiding it, per se, more like dumping it. Illegal dumping in wooded areas has been a pervasive issue forever and illegal garbage dumps used to be full of porn in the days of VHS and magazines.
Also yes, my mom regularly confiscated my stash. Luckily, my dad didn't know that I knew his hiding spot after he stole it from my mom, so I stole it back. It was a whole cycle we repeated a couple times, always ending in my mom throwing it out. One time she threw a few Playboys in the fireplace to make her point. It didn't stick.
