Parents: What would you do if your 15 year old bisexual son posted gay porn in a chat with children as young as 11 in it?

Question

(Btw, all of the porn he posted only featured consenting adults 18 or older, and he didn’t send it to any children directly, just posted it on a chat server that happened to have children in it.)

It’s a mock government chat server, mainly consisting of nerdy teenagers/pre-teens obsessed with elections such as your son, and your son was running for the mock House of Representatives. Because of his past scandals on the server over a month ago (such as threatening to rape children out of anger, since he has Asperger’s), he lost the Democratic Primary with only 1 vote (his own vote), while his two opponents each got 5. After he lost, he thought it would be funny to post a picture of women’s breasts on the server, and they gave him a ban that was supposed to last until August 15th. He told them if they did not unban him, he would make new accounts and spam gay porn on the server, which he did - repeatedly, and does not plan on stopping until they unban him. They also tried IP banning him, but he uses a VPN to evade the IP ban.

The chat where he posted gay porn, however, had children as young as 11. What would you do as a parent if your 15 year old son did this?

Answer 1

Wouldn't care

Answer 2

Call the cops

Answer 3

Disown him.

Answer 4

take away electronics. he should know better

Answer 5

I'd call the police and have him spend some time in jail.

Answer 6

I'd kick his @$$ for him, to start, and then he would lose all devices and internet privileges. I don't mess around. I train my kids on the internet and how to behave, and they know right off the bat what I would do.

Answer 7

I'd wonder why the parent isn't supervising their children's internet use more closely. Be a parent.

Answer 8

I'm not a parent, but I do have a strong opinion about this.

1st, I don't know how I'd know. I have observed that parents do not often monitor their children's internet use. So if I was a parent, how would I know?

2nd, I would take their computer away. Clearly, they need to calm the hell down. The fact that this is a response to a temporary ban is just...goddamn they need to calm down(whether they thought it was fair or not, which it was, this is a terrible response). I would take their computer away and tell them to go on a walk. When I felt they've grown up a little, they can have it back.

3rd, I would also take their computer away for showing porn to children. That's a wrong thing to do.

4th, I imagine that, if I found out about this, I probably knew about him threatening rape earlier on. I would have reacted to that much more severely, and before any of this went down. I myself would have banned them from ever using a chatroom again anytime soon, and sent them to anger management. That's not okay, mental illness or not.

Answer 9

Well, for starters your Internet connection would be gone.



I would also tell you that I no longer accept you using your Asperger's as an excuse for all the crap you pull. You're not retarded. You know perfectly well that it's unacceptable to threaten to rape children. From now on, using Asperger's as an excuse for unacceptable behaviour would earn you an extra punishment on top of the consequences for your behaviour.



If you'd find ways to still send porn to that server, I would ultimately report you to the police. Distributing porn to a minor is a serious offence.

Answer 10

I would talk to him about it, & take the internet away for awhile until he understands not to do it. And then monitor what he's doing on thea.

Answer 11

I’m not a parent but 15 years old is an age where I would not have an issue letting them view adult content. It is the responsibility of those 11 year olds’ parents to monitor their children’s Internet usage if they don’t want them to see porn.

Answer 12

Call the cops, it's child pornography either way you look at it! It doesn't matter if the child is bisexual, straight, gay, whatever. Your child is underage, and sending (and receiving?) Underage pornographic pictures you need to out a stop to it ASAP!
