...........with regard to your last statement/question first, I would not be “forgiving”................but, otherwise, IF IT WERE MY SON, yes I would do EVERYTHING I Could to save him from what amounts to total destruction.
Again, this is IF he were only 17 and ONLY IF it was a first offense.
I would always give MY SON the benefit of the doubt and be loyal to him IN A FIRST OFFENSE CIRCUMSTANCE AT 17 YEARS OLD. I’m sorry that concept escapes you. I feel the vast majority of fathers would agree with me, not you.
With regard to your assertion about “Dealing with Child Pornography.............” There is no question you r right and I agree with you 100%...................when It’s an ADULT.
I was in the Marine Corps at seventeen.
I am sorry Iif the two concepts of adulthood and protecting two year olds are beyond your mental and moral capacity.
You are in every possible respect a perfect example of the sort of parents we read threads about who’s late spawn are usually described as “up and coming rappers” who were “putting their life together”.
