Ok, im a 36 year old single mom. I have a 15 year old son who I feel, or felt was normal for his age. I got him a computer for his birthday. He uses it a lot in his room. He was away recently and I was suspicious about what he was doing on it. I got on it and looked through his "my documents" folder and was unpleasently greated. He had a very large file or porn. I know thats suppose to be normal and stuff for his age, but it still disturbed me and im going to have a talk with him. But what I was most shocked by was the conversations he had saved from AIM. He was talking with older guys and was impersonating as little girls, using strange aliases. They are very strange and disturbing. here is one i think exemplifies the behavior at great detail. I really don't know what to do, or even how to confront this with him. it seems really odd.

Worried and dont know what to do. help needed

Lol. I wouldn't worry about that at all. Well not much. Your son is just pulling those cyber perves' chains. There is a website which you can submit those to, quite amusing actually.
I wouldn't be worried about your son hooking up with older guys, I think it's just a bit of a laugh for him. But to be sure have a talk to him, but try to be open.

so you dont think hes getting sexual enjoyment out of this? i do see how it could be funny for him he has a good sense of humor and i do see how he is kind of being a fool in this. but i dont know, some fetishes are pretty in debth and stuff and even weird stuff other would never think possible to be enjoyable (like being 31 and tyring to hook up with a 14 year old) people get enjoyment out of.
-
It seems too much of a joke to me to be a fetish. Ask him to be sure. But I think he's probably doing it to post it on some website.
"Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it"
-
ok well i wasnt aware that people this kind of stuff as jokes
. It is common among teens?
he wont be back for another 2 days. If anyone sees this on one of these websites youre speaking of then it will probably washaway my fears, so if you see this somewhere on one of these prank sites or whatever they are, let me know please. thanks -
**Hi hon, welcome to the forum.
Firstly as a mother myself, this is something that i know i will have to deal with at some point. I didn't know whether to laugh or what when i read the chat log - its just so wierd. He is obviously just going out there to mess with people, from that chat log, i don't think that its a sexual thing - it was almost like he was seeing how far he could push the guy before he stopped talking to him. On the others is he more sexual, as in not joking around, or is this the way he is a lot - just out to get a reaction from someone?
As for the porn on the PC, well i would imagine a lot of boys his age, with internet access has the same kinda thing - which is worrying for me as the porn they have access to through the internet is far more graphic and explicit and hardcore AND accessable, than a teen would typically be able to get his or her hands on in mags etc.......
Your son is growing up and will have urges to see and experience different things, and my worry is that though we worry about our children, should we stand back and allow them to do stuff we know is dodgy.
Im not sure you should confront him just yet. The porn in the my documents folder, unless its weird stuff, could be just put down to 15 year old behavior, and i would keep an eye on the chat logs. They are weird, but not dangerous, as in he isn't meeting anyone on there etc. If they become more dangerous in their content etc then yes, you will have to tackle him, but maybe at the moment just monitor the situation (even tho that will feel like spying on him :frowning: ) and only tackle him about it IF it seems to be becoming a problem.

Alright. Yes much of the conversations were very similar to that. And yeah I wasn't so much worried about the porn. I know that is pretty normal for his age, and no, from what i saw it wasn't "weird" porn. Seemed pretty typical. One thing I did forget to mention was the name of the chats. Most he had were just logs of him talking to his friends, which I don't really want to read, it would feel wrong. But the reason i looked at some of these was their names. This one was entitled "FOXXY BAITING" which seemed a little odd and caught my attention. I see where the "FOXXY" came from, its the guy's user name. But... Is "baiting" a slang term for masturbation? Thats kind of what got me wondering about the whole thing to begin with. And yes I'm going to keep an eye on the names of his chat logs, and check all the strangely named one just to be safe. Thanks for your help, This site seems pretty useful to be honest, a nice resource. I was told of it when asking a friend for advise on the at hand topic.
-
No "baiting" isn't slang for masterbation, at least i don't think so LOL
It take FOXY baiting, as just what he was doing, winding the guy up - getting a reaction, take the piss out of the guy - I don't think its anything sexual at all.

Lol yeah a lot of weird stuff. This is the weirdest so far though. Really hoping it stays that way.

Baiting
1. To place a lure in (a trap) or on (a fishing hook).
2. To entice, especially by trickery or strategy.
3. To set dogs upon (a chained animal, for example) for sport.
4. To attack or torment, especially with persistent insults, criticism, or ridicule.
5. To tease.
6. To feed (an animal), especially on a journey.
From the sounds of it I would say that you have nothing to worry about at all, he seems to be an intelligent kid.
There is one thing I would like to comment on tho. Even tho you are his mother and you have the right to protect your son, checking out his My Documents and especially reading his chat logs, these can be a great invasion of privacy. I am 18 and I would never allow my parents to read my chat logs. Not because they contain vulgar or explicit conversations, but simply because it is my personal life with my friends. Parents do not have the right to know everything that a child, especially a teenager, says to his friends. A lot of my chat logs contain conversations about my own personal problems that don't concern my parents, or I just don't feel ready to tell them yet.
Basically all I'm trying to say is that you should respect your son's privacy, when you tell your son that you have been looking through his files you could have a very angry teenager on your hands.<b>The Word of God - <i>Surprisingly indistinguishable from one's own personal opinion.</i></b>

I disagree Bob.
As a parent, she not only has the right to look at his computer, she has an obligation to know what's going on with him. That's a big problem these days - parents who place their kids' "right to privacy" over their need for supervision, guidance, and correction. If more parents were as proactive as this mother is, I dare say fewer kids would be victimized by stalkers and internet perverts.
To the mother - I tend to be the lone voice crying out in the wilderness on this, but I don't believe at all that the porn is nothing to worry about. Typical teenage boy behavior? Probably. Let it go? Not so sure. He could be setting himself up for a pattern of addiction or whatever else that will haunt him for the rest of his life. I'm not saying all kids who collect porn are gonna be addicts, but it's a real possibility. The statistics aren't encouraging. If you found a case of Coronas in his closet, would you let it go cause it's typical teenage behavior.
I think you or his father (if he's in the picture) should talk to him about it. Make him aware of the risks that come with using porn.Screw the whales, save the subjunctive!
-
Well I was just saying that from my point of view, altho I suppose I'm not like most teenage boys my age. I don't think I've had porn on my computer for a few years now. But I suppose you're right Damien, altho I hate you.

very common, that shit I wouldnt worry so much about, when it starts out normal and then gets odder and odder and more outrageous as it goes on Id ALMOST rule anythng but baiting these pervs.
soetimes people send em back and forth to other buddies they have to laugh at the perv, sometime tey post them on variou sweb sites making fun of people for packing thier hand on the puter.
fhe saved the convof, thats the first reason Id start thinkig its a joke, if he was just having the convos and you ahd a keystroke program on an found it that way, Id worry, but that fact he saves them and they get more an more outrageous as they go on, imply to atlest me that it a joke and he thnks its funny.
Id bust his ass over it, but I wouldnt worry about hs secuality and what strange shit he is into andif its unhelathy.
he is ealing with fucking scum bag predators who are seeking out little girls, that cant be safe, Id bust hs ass over that alone if it were my son.
I think you can more determine if you should worry by what type of porn he has. look at that shit and see if its shit that lines up with the fetish behavior in his convos.
Id look ito installing a firewall or router.
if you use a router you can fbock all his shit from it and its firewall while any other computers in the house still have unrestricted access.
I do it to my kids all the time.
I ook at the log file that they cant edit about where there computer has been, its built into the router so tey cant screw with it. if I se sites that I dont want them on, I simply block them from the IP addy of thier computer from accessing them.
It takes keeping u on it and checking the sht out from time to time to see what they been up to and alot of peole think Im a real bastard for doing it, I see it however as my parental right and even responsability to make sure I know what my kids are doing and where they have been.
most of those that think Im too hard and ama snoopy rotten batard for a parent, are punk ass kids who have had a taste of it from thier own parents.
My house my rules, I pay the bills and the kids do what I say and i do what I want. as a parent you have the same right ot run your house as you see fit. people that let kids run amok and do what they want are the reason for little bastards runnning into me in walmart and tallking shit and throwing fit and screaming and thinking they can do what they want rather then what society says is acceptable.
be a parent and take it into your own hands and if it pisses him off, too bad, your house, your rules.Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

Well, I've just turned 16 and I'd have to say that for a teenage boy with his own computer and internet access, I'd be more surprised if he hadn't looked at porn.
As for that conversation, he might have been messing around like eveyrone else has said. Maybe as a laugh when a friend came over...
Hope that helps. -
although your looking out for your son, i think in a way your kind of invading his privacy imo, i really dont like the idea of my parents snooping around my room etc because its my personal space. if you did confront him you could loose his trust, hes a teenage guy and its normal to have porn etc on his computer, if its nothing out of the ordinary i would just leave it, and also respect his privacy in the future
-
In reply to:
i think in a way your kind of invading his privacy
He only has privacy cause his parents choose to give him that privilege.
In reply to:
its my personal space.
Actually, unless you're paying the rent or your name is on the mortgage, it's their personal space and they are letting you use parts of it.
In reply to:
if you did confront him you could loose his trust
Guess your not as concerned about him losing their trust, huh?
In reply to:
its normal to have porn etc on his computer
It's also normal for a teenager to lie and talk back at their parents and sneak out at night, but you wouldn't expect a parent to tolerate those things, no?
Screw the whales, save the subjunctive!
-
this is my opinion, onviously ive never been a parent but i know what its like to be a teenager, my friends parenst tidy through her room at every chance when she leaves the house, thats invading privacy in my opinion.
i guess ive got a good relationship with my parents in this respect, our house is our house, not their house, they dont think that money will be the deciding point, saying that every room in the house belongs to them. so no, i dont help pay the mortgage! lol but i do have my room which they dont usually interfere with unless they ask me...my mum sometimes wants to help clean the room but generally she doesnt snoop around etc
sure, i think parents should look out for their kids, but i also think you need to draw the line somewhere (yes which is difficult) and let them develope in their own way without completely monitering their every step
obviously we disagree, lol, lets not get into an arguement about it, we have different views -
In reply to:
Actually, unless you're paying the rent or your name is on the mortgage, it's their personal space and they are letting you use parts of it.
I've used this line with my parents before, and its such a typical teenage thing to say, but what choice do they have?

My attitude and ideals all changed AFTER I had my own kids.
Im alot less forgiving of fuck up sthen I planned on being when I was a kid, all that shit I said Id do as a parent ? fucking gone right out the window after I had kids.
Its not a matter of being a dick, its a matter of loving the kids and wanting whats best for them and keeping them safe. I suffered alot for my mistakes of youth, should I let my children now repeat those mistakes and suffer as well?
If I did that then Im not doing my job as a parent. my job is to grow them into responsible, respectable contributing adults and hopefully to get them to that stage in better shape then i was upon reaching it. after that my concern is that they do better in life then I did. I dont do the things i do to my kids and make the rules just because Im bored or ffeel like I should be able to control evry aspect of thier life, I do it to set boundrys and try to guide them. the mroe responsability they take and the better they handle it, the more freedom they are given, they fuck up and I start taking freedom away.
