Today, I checked my son's browser history, as he's been acting strangely around his computer recently. I found several bizarre Google searches, including but not limited to: "unicorn dick-farts", "sharting kittens", and "can you get AIDS from Asians?" What the fuck is wrong with him? FML

At least he's curious. I mean, who knows what you'll find when you look up unicorn dick-farts?

That's a little screwed up. No, that's very screwed up. Deal with this now before it becomes a problem.

I must confess my search log is sorta weird as well, but there's a good reason for it. I'm gonna guess that your kid tried to find some funny story he read once, and so he typed in whatever he remembered of the story. For a while, the first choice google would tell me whenever I pressed "i" "Into how many parts can you cut a human in one strike" because I wanted to find a certain story where they discussed this. ... I didn't find it and realized afterwards that's it's a very weird thing to have in your search log

I know that's weird and all but I don't know how okay it is that you stalked your son's browser history either...if my parents did that I'd feel pretty violated, even if I hadn't been looking up kitten sharts.

It's not possible to "stalk" your own child...it's called "real parenting". Kids nowadays seem to be so self entitled to what they "think" constitutes "privacy" & "rights". Most don't realize that the "rights" you all claim to have...you don't have (those rights aren't in the constitution)...the "right" to sneak around behind parents back, sext, Skype in skimpy outfits, have sex, drink, smoke, do any drugs, etc. it's not that kids haven't been doing this for years...it just that you don't have a "right" to do these thing, yet claim you "feel violated" when in fact you haven't been, & have no "right" to claim as much or feel such. That would be like me claiming I felt "violated" because my parents didn't let me do as I pleased growing up....a total falsehood. You'll understand when you're grown up & (maybe) have kids of your own, always trying to tell you lies about what "their rights are & what they deserve to have" because they want you to believe in that load of bull. Just saying.

OP, understand that while I completely agree that parents should monitor their kids internet access it comes with the MASSIVE rider that parents should be discrete and not mention it unless their kids cross the line. Where is the line? Harm to themselves or others. Have you considered the possibility that these aren't even things your son is into? Open yourself to the possibility that your son's friend sent them a message saying something like, "OMG! Soo funny!! Google "unicorn dick-farts"!!! Now!!!". As for the Asians and AIDs thing, it is probably likewise the result of some disagreement with friends. Teenage boys in general discuss really weird stuff. By all means continue snooping, but unless he's actually doing something dangerous then avoid a conversation that can go NOWHERE good and will just completely destroy your son's trust in you.

Are you people honestly going to tell me that in this day and age, you've never had a friend say "hey, you HAVE to google this!"? Or they've said a word that you've never heard of and they won't tell you the meaning so you google it? Had an extremely strange debate that only google could settle? Google has all the answers so we may as well ask the questions

Maybe he figured you were planning on snooping, so he looked up weird stuff on purpose.

If he posts on forums the conversations can spawn loads of pretty random google searches, at least he's not looking up anything illegal (unless he's learnt how to use private tabs, which he probably will if you confront him with this!)

I would talk to him about it, could be a simple misunderstanding. I've googled some pretty odd slang terms I've heard to find out what they mean. It also could be a viral video, etc. Although you might want to talk to him about the AIDS thing..

YDI for checking your son's search history

seriously it's your very own fault. first of all why do you think you have the right to violate the privacy of your son. 2nd teach him to use private tabs for such searchs. 3rd the way you act may lead to less trust. how would you feel if he digs your private stuff and finds embarrassing stuff? *smh
