“Q.R., using his mother’s old laptop, had unfettered access to the internet and began searching for hardcore pornography,” says the court. His mom claims this led to “pain, suffering, disability, disfigurement, and mental anguish; psychological injury; past and future love of enjoyment and pleasure of living.”
It's not the internet making your son feel those things, it's you.
Disfigurement? Kid's doing something wrong.
That's truly some advanced-level porn.
Internet told him to break both his arms.
Mom is mad he doesn't have energy left for her.
Mom never supported any kind of sexual education and definitely refuses any kind of healthy and mature conversation with the poor kid.
Why is the mom not responsible for giving her kid internet access.
Well she is, but also the law states she can get compensation if an adult site doesn't age restrict minors.
Negligent is the word you're looking for. And her child should be removed and put in a safe environment. At the least she should have to pay a fine and attend classes and child protection should make visits.
Damn, he's Disabled and Disfigured now?
...What was he doing?
He broke both his arms. He'll need his mom for the jerking now.
So the mom is suing Chaturbate, et al., because she thinks they're going to cause her son to enjoy life in the future? Is that the mental gymnastics going on here?
I think it's just poorly written pseudo-legalese, and it's intended to mean that he will be unable to enjoy life in the future because of the psychological damage that poor is doing to him (unrealistic expectations and mental harm, et cetera).
While porn addiction and unrealistic ideas of beauty and sex are genuinely real things that happen, the way to prevent that is with frank, open discussions about sex and pornography, not trying to prevent your 14 year old from masturbating. I was a 14 year old boy at one point, and lemme tell you, nothing could stop me from masturbating. Nothing. It's just not going to happen. Kids will find ways to find porn, and if somehow we completely do away with it entirely (again, won't happen), they'll find new ways, and they'll read and write erotica or get into hentai or whatever. This woman is insane, Kansas is insane, and so are all the other states imposing this bullshit
It's not even real. It's a fabricated story to push an agenda of a special interest group.
Edit: to clarify, the news story is real, the mom's story isn't. It's just a fiction to push the agenda.
