[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 268894, member: 3907"] I agree that keeping boys away from porn is a huge challenge, and a battle some choose not to fight. husband may not see it as a big deal, but if your difficult child doesn't yet have a clear concept of a healthy and loving relationship (and what 14 year old really does?) then it could be very destructive for him. With my difficult child, however, it is ESSENTIAL. With the complete lack of boundaries and social understanding (Aspergers) combined with a huge level of grandiosity (Bipolar), the images that can be found in porn give difficult child very distorted ideas about how men and women interact with each other when they find each other attractive. For example, a few years ago, after sneaking onto my computer and looking at porn, my difficult child started grabbing women's breasts in public (at school, on the bus, in the shopping mall, etc.) because the images he'd been looking at depicted that sort of thing as a normal interaction. In one case, police were involved. difficult child is now on severely limited computer access. (one hour, every other day, fully supervised by his 1:1) GCV, you've already been given great advice on locking down access to the internet on the DS, and about consequences for inappropriate computer use. If you're so inclined, it might be worth implementing a "No Unsupervised Computer Use" policy, as a natural consequence. Your difficult child has shown that he can't control himself, so maybe he needs to have that control imposed from outside for the moment. Just my $0.02 Trinity [/QUOTE]
