Ok BBK - THAT is what I was trying NOT to think - but with my kid.
Well - we sat down last night in a family meeting I called - and gave him a chance to come clean about the pictures, the IM's to girls touting me as a bloody leach, the messages about my house, my dog, and the fact that he's breaking house rules set up just 3 weeks ago. AGAIN.
He played the stupid card, which is actually not a bad card to play with DF and I. Because DF said - "Well if you have no more clue; than what you do, about how that website operates, then you're apparently not old enough to be on it. So now you are off the computer."
We wanted him to recant - we wanted him to admit he lied, we wanted him to get up and go clean the room we're allowing him to stay in. And he was doing laundry - one pair of jeans at a time. DF flipped and that was pretty much the end of peaceful trails. We just paid $275 to have the septic emptied and now Dude is washing 2 tshirts and a tank top on a full load - and one pair of jeans = it's like WTH is your problem? He knows how to do laundry. ARGH. This DF said was only done to peeve us off - I just dont' know - I think Dudes cognitive functioning is on again off again - NO ONE can
continually STRIVE to peeve people off like this - There is really something wrong with his thinking. We just don't know what.
He left the family meeting and I finally told DF about the IM to a woman who said she didn't appreciate me leaching off him in his house and that he needs to tell me to get my own car etc. DF said the same thing Meow did - that we can sit there while he IM's each person and tells them the truth about his life, his mother, and then sign off for good. Either that or MUMMY can do it for him - so we'll have that talk tonight. This morning when I got up for work and difficult child was still in bed - he was overwhelmed with wanting to go in and say "Hey your leachy Mom needs a ride to work are you going to take her or am I?" I shoved my banana at him and said THAT was not funny - you know I'd rather have you take my leachy self to work - I already ask TOO TOO much of our son."
Oh and funnier yet - Since he (until last night) was not on Private status (thanks Sue C) I saw where some men looking for men sent him friend requests - and he's blocked them but THOSE were worse than the women. Yes Dude, there are perverts on MS. Why can't someone invent an IM for kids that has all the language blocked out and pictures have to be approved before going on the web?
So now thanks to all of your information and suggestions - I took my family pictures off, dog pictures off, made it private so no one else could contact him, blocked any more people from sending thing.
I'm so over My Space -
Thanks everyone so much - and while I'm sad that this is going on in our home - I'm thankful that anyone can learn something from it. Like - BLOCK MS right now - argh.
When I 'casually' say something about a site visited, they both look at me like...how in the heck does she know???
