Today, I spent three hours painstakingly installing and configuring some parental control software on my 11-year-old son's laptop after I caught him watching porn. Barely an hour after returning the laptop, I caught him watching yet more porn on it. FML

Is it really necessary for an 11 year old to have his own personal laptop? And OP, unless he bought it himself, you have rights to take it away

#1, there are many things that could be done to stop him. Snap his computer in half. Turn off the Internet router. Stab him, light him on fire, and dump his body behind McDonalds. Or simply just take the computer away.

YDI for letting him have his own laptop at such a young age. Aside from worrying about him watching ****, you should also worry about the people he could have met online. Either start tracking what he does online, or take his laptop away.

People don't get the damage that can be done only being 11 and exposed to that. You can say purity and all that but when push comes to shove at that age you ARE NOT mature enough to understand it. If you grow up thinking that **** is how the real thing goes then you got another thing coming.

I've had my own computer since I was 9. Never had a problem speaking with strangers on the internet or looking at things I shouldn't have. My parents were honest with me and told me about the dangers of the internet and, for the most part, I obeyed their guidelines without them having to place parental control or checking on me. I used my computer for studying and gaming. Really, I believe it is a matter of determining HOW mature a child is, rather than his/her age. OP should speak to his son about sex. He should explain to him how unrealistic **** is and why someone so young shouldn't be watching such a thing. Be clear, honest, and thorough, kids are more likely to disobey if they don't know what their parents are defending/protecting them against.

Reminds me of my 8 year old neighbor who has a laptop among many other things

So...you gave him back the laptop after you caught him watching ****?..... Yeah good job

Take his computer maybe take him outside and explain to him the big scary orange ball in the sky.

Kids don't get outside nearly enough anymore.

take **** away and maybe prostitude next time,got knee to knee with him and moving it to the right direction

Maybe an 11 year old shouldn't have his own laptop!!??

You're never going to stop him, it's ****. Just relax, it's natural.

11 isn't that young to own a laptop. I had a lot of papers and projects to type. The last thing OP expected was for him to watch. He was just curious.

A lot of people did..and I'd say that for the most part, a lot of us had to share the bulky desktop computers where we were supervise they don't need their own personal laptop -.-
