I just caught my 10-yr son looking at porn yesterday! So I know how you feel. I think Meriter is being a little hard on you. He/She must not have children!
I calmly went to my son and asked him if he looked at the stuff and he denied it. I knew for a fact that it was him so he knew looking at it was wrong...knew enough to lie to cover it up. I told him he was too young to be looking at that sort of stuff and if he does it again, he won't be allowed on the computer. I also asked him if he had any questions about anything he saw...he said 'no' of course. He didn't seem really embarrassed or anything. I had told both of my boys previously that their dad and I can see whatever they do on the net so I reminded him of that fact. At this point, I don't know what else to do. I feel angry...angry at myself for not having stricter parental controls on the computer he was on and angry about the fact that he found this stuff so easily. I believe he found it through advertisements off to the side of a game he was playing. I haven't even gone back onto that computer to see exactly what he saw...I'm almost afraid to! I know he saw some videos and searched some terms like "hot girls" and one that broke my heart "man puts his wiener in a girls wiener"...My little boy! I feel like he's been violated!
