Lying pervert!

I think we're missing the point here. I'm not punishing him for the porn at all. I didn't even tell him that I knew about it. He's punished for sneaking on, more for the lying about it than the sneaking on. Had he copped to it, I just would have talk to him about getting a good night's sleep and worried and sent him to a sleep clinic. He's always slept restlessly, and were it not for the puter being on, it would have been Discovery Channel at 3am. Nothing new. It's the lying and sneaking entirely. I wanna know when he's on and been on, and wtf he's up to when he's on the computer, period polka dot. So I can watch his activities, see when he's looking at barnyard shit and bombmaking so I can get him into therapy, and not acquire viruses and spyware just as gf said. He's 11. He shouldn't be unsupervised on the computer IMO. And won't be if I can help it.

The pron is no surprise, I found dad's Playboy under his mattress when he was wee. And my hand cream in his room. :sick: It's ew, but waddever. I'm gettin over it. He's a boy. *shrug*

Thanks for the advice on the how to foil him and his buddies guys. I passworded both of the accounts and the screensaver, and will look up how to password the BIOS, along with what Tommy's said, and will I think start taking the modem or a cord to bed with me at night.
I hear you Les. Even a simple lie carries a stuff penalty around here. STIFF! :swing:

Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games. Internet RPG's that develop into their own worlds. Everquest is the prime example.

World of Warcraft, Dark Age of Camelot, Final Fantasy (is it 11 or 12?), Guild Wars, soon coming Middle Earth Online. Never mind the ones you don't have to buy.

That stuff'll be off limits until we get another computer in the house. I let him sign up on a forum, and that alone is stealing way too much from my precious web-surfing time. *mutters*

From a younger perspective...my dad used to get peeved when I would sneak up to use the computer (I was 16 btw). I think all of your ideas for securing the computer are a good idea. He needs to learn that if he is not gonna be honest and sensible about the amount of time and the time of day that he is on the computer then he will be treated as though he can not be trusted. I don't see any point in all the comments about the porn from people and the comments about Paul being there and etc. I understand where you're coming from with the trust issue and I think you're totally right to be mad and to be doing what you're doing about it :)

Maybe it's just me, but I think, perhaps, everyone's over-reacting to this. Yeah he lied. He's 11 for Christ's sake. Yeah, he looked at porn. His mom's got a new boyfriend, and he's probably hearing the humping. He's 11. Is there a guy here who can say he wouldn't have defied Gawd himself for porn at that age?

Personally, I think lockdowns and punishment in this case are just gonna drive him to rebel. What you want to do is embrace him, as a young adult. Ask him what he wanted to see, why it was so important. Where he found out about it. Then go look at it together. Encourage him to stop sneaking around and lying. He's gonna go one of two ways here. And you can't guide him if you can't get him to talk.

Yes...that would put him off it for several years, but it wouldn't make him intelligent enough to hide it. ;) Got to get him to improve his thinking skills one way or another. ;)

My big worry would be the web-predators. People who join chat sites claiming that they're 11 year old girls who are actually 33 year old pervs. Kid's are too trusting...and great targets. A few weeks of chatting with your son on and off and this perv could invite him to an afterschool get-together at her house. Her house turns out to be 'his house' and then you have a problem.... especially if he's not being honest about his activities.

As for my kid, I regularly stress the dangers of giving out names and location, and often remind him that people aren't always who they seem on the net. I'm not too worried though. After all, he has me proof-read everything he posts.. :p (He also only has classmates on msn, anyone he adds, I want to know who is.)

Hell yea, agreed. Heck Leslie, you have your own experience there to draw from and share. :eh:
Yep yep yep. :eh: He'll know about it soon enough. I'm still terrorizing him with horrific stories of death, slaughter and molestation...I haven't got round to the tales of bent reality as yet.
