[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 544803, member: 9175"] I am so sorry. I know how upsetting this is. My difficult child went on what i would describe as a "porn spree" when she was only twelve. We had a keylogger and discovered she'd visited - literally - hundreds of sites in one evening. We confronted her, banned her from the computer for a month and told her we'd be very carefully checking the history. She didn't do it again for a long time but, she's always been hypersexual and I know how upsetting that can be for a mom. Once she got her own laptop, (at 18) there was nothing I could do. In your case, your son is still young. I wouldn't take the computer away ...honestly, that won't solve the problem. I would, however, install the keylogger and TELL him. Eventually, we did this with difficult child. She wasn't on the porn sites,but she was skype sexting and other wildly upsetting things. We explained it was our home, our computer and the keylogger was clearly necessary. One word of caution though. If you do this, be prepared to findd things you will not like. As the others said, much of it is probably curiousity and not things he intends to act out. Still, it is perfectly within your rights as a parent to say to your son "this is unacceptable in my home." In my experience, a difficult child will do things that normal teens do ... but he/she will do those things to the max. They don't seem to have that little switch in their heads that says "time to stop". When we discovered difficult child on the porn sites, we told her we understood her curiousity but that it was not healthy for her to explore in that way ...or to that degree. Dash [/QUOTE]
