My son has outright lied to my wife and I about viewing pornography and having an online girlfriend for six months. He was also violent for part of that and then calmed down. I feel the computer should be gone! Wife does not. We do watch him on it when she allows it. He says that it really isn't a big deal he did not tell us he was dating and telling a person he loves them on the internet. Nor is pornography that bad and he just made a mistake about eight times.
We tried local churches, one ridiculed this teen and others for mourning another teen's death. The other has a pastor who has a teen with similar issues and thought he would cure this teen. Other than law enforcement and myself offering/demanding counseling or juvenile hall for violence that was successful only in getting him out of the house (until he said he would rather talk to me) we are really struggling with these issues.
Computers in public area and filters are not always enough sadly. Some of this, much of this started at places outside the home!
Thanks,
John
