[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 544837, member: 13882"] Hi, I think you're right to be disgusted and even worried. I think the keylogger thing is great if you allow him to keep the laptop. I would consider ditching a private computer for him completely. That's it...he lost the privilege-but that's just me. Internet porn is insidious, and so easily accessed, and it can be an addiction like anything else. Perhaps his curiosity is not unusual, and if our generation had access to this stuff at his age, maybe we would've gone there too - but those sites are a cesspool, kids are impressionable, and you need to prevent that backwash from flowing into your home in any way you can, or at least make it very, very difficult for him. I wouldn't expect him to be watching Disney, but sick minds can find all kinds of outlets on the internet which convinces them, "hey, I'm not perverted, lots of other people like this stuff, too." If he needs the laptop for school, then I'm sure you can have various sites blocked---I know our school district that provides laptops to HS kids blocks almost everything from their school-issued laptops. You can probably retrofit his laptop for the same purpose. FWIW, my brother tried to mess around with me when I was about 8 years old one night while my parents were at a wedding and he was babysitting me (he is 7 years older, and was later diagnosed with schizophrenia). I locked myself in the bathroom till my parents came home, and a few days later I told my mom, who had a hard time believing me. Anyway, it can happen, but I'm actually with SuzR that [B]most [/B]of the time, older brothers do not want to be around younger sisters in that way. I'm hypervigilant, but I'd talk to a shrink about this, because there are other issues involved - and maybe you can make sure your daughter knows she can tell you anything and feel safe that she'll be believed, and try not to leave them home alone together.
