Not that I have anything against protecting children, and I also encourage to use filters. Still we need to know what is fact and not, to avoid confusion. Sure, some parents or organizations might have (or will) tried civil charges, but its a difference between laws and moral. There are also differences between freesites and paysites... and between nations. As you say, there are potential risks, and first thing to learn in this biz, is your local laws.

A good start in avoiding risks is making it look like you are doing your best to be responsible. By taking basic precautions (ICRA rating, warning pages, no hardcore on unprotected pages, etc) you make yourself a somewhat harder target, and thus are less likely to be picked out from the herd.
A 5' petite woman and a 6'4" muscular guy could both be mugged when walking down the street, but the latter is a lot less likely to be seen as an easy target. Likewise, a site that takes precautions is safer from predators than a site that doesn't.
