It took some time to find the right software package that they cannot get around, that blocks sites as you set filters and that logs them off as you prescribe the amount of time and days they can use the computer.
Since doing HW on the computer is a necessity as well, until we got this software, we had many fights over the computer time. The one we found best is KidWatch. I believe he was definitely corrupted by seeing the sex he did. He was only 12. We thought we had time.
My son was 16 when he took his life 12-19-09.
My eyes are in tears, typing this to you. Less than a month after your loss, and you’re trying to selflessly warn others. Your son had to have been a good kid; those are just the kinds of kids who are jolted by such things. The children brought up by dirtbags and are used to those circumstances are rarely fazed by this stuff. He was from a good family and had no idea how to handle such perversion. I am deeply sorry for you and your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I will pray for your son every day. People don’t understand how bad it is out there. I didn’t *really* understand either till my daughter started dating a nice young man. His parents were very involved in his life and they had good household rules, a 10 pm curfew, no MTV, etc. Unfortunately, this young man got addicted to porn. He wanted to do ‘stuff’ with my daughter, unhealthy stuff. Thankfully she said no and they broke up about a month later. I’m still shaken by the situation. His parents seemed to do everything right and he still went done a bad path.
I am so sorry.
even after having my sister die when she was 8 and I was 10, and seeing the grief my parents went through (not to mention my own). I still cant imagine the pain you must be going through....My heartfelt sympathies.
So sorry to hear about your loss! Prayers for your family.
Sorry to hear about your loss. I remember when I was 12, going across the street to my best friend’s house to look at the playboys his dad had. We had a ball doing that, even though our parents would paddle our backsides for doing it. I suppose there are worse reasons to commit suicide however..
