I see what you're saying but kids don't always lie out of malice. Sometimes they are just stupid.

They can't tell you they are being groomed if they themselves don't realize it's happening, for example.

If you feel the need to search your kid's tablet, smartphone or PC it's either too young to have one unattended or you should reevaluate your educational methods.

If a kid feels like it needs to lie and hide all the it will do so.

And what are these parents expecting to find? Documents of an international drug cartel? It's porn, games, questionable videos and memes. You knew that beforehand. Talk to them, make sure they know their various ways to stay safe online, physically and mentally.

My friends with kids mostly look at their shit to make sure they aren't involved bigoted online spaces.

Keep them away from Bigoted Bill.

Yeah, or chatting with a stranger who, to an adult, is obviously an adult acting as a child. But, to a child isn't so obvious.

Or being extorted in other ways.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/764_(organization)

oh yeah, they watch for a lot of things. The reason I brought up the one I did was my one friend's son, who is now an adult, fell heavily into the red pill nonsense, and it caused serious problems. So other friends are particularly on the look for that. Most of the kids are now in the mid to late teens, and early 20s though, so they mostly leave them be now.

Young boy search histories are great. I remember when my little brother borrowed my laptop once and when I got it back there was searches on Youtube for "boobs", "big boobs", and "big boobs jumping". Guess he's a boob guy.

[-] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 17 hours ago

Even if not a boob guy, or even straight, boobs are often just hillarious.

Idk why you’d be upset, it just means it’s time to talk to your kid about sex and to give him some damn privacy too lmao

[-] entwine413@lemm.ee 52 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Exactly. Have the talk that porn isn't representative of real life and move on.

Don't be like my dad and take your preteen to a therapist who says that 12 year old boys shouldn't be interested in sex (what a fucking quack).

My hill is that some people have made it far enough to realize they should do that with a neurotypical child but will hold back a neurodivergent one, especially if there's some intellectual / cognitive disability in the mix. A looot of parents come to terms with having an ID kid by picturing that they're going to stay their cute sweet baby forever. It can result in a lot of messed up situations and a little public masturbation is the least of them. I actually really enjoyed the "tard Wrangler" greentext despite the thoroughly stigmatizing language just because he actually completely nailed the experience of working those kinds of jobs. I've definitely worked with a few people who have some questionable traits but who do, in the end, have the patients best interests at heart, and it's not hard to see how the job itself has kinda fried them a little. That anon is probably one of the coworkers I would make the Picard holding his head gesture at a fair amount but who definitely wouldn't hurt a patient and in a heartbeat would jump into action helping me stop someone from smearing shit everywhere.

Just read the tard wrangler with the morning coffee. Excellent read, very entertaining.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 19 hours ago

Got a link for that "tard wrangler" greentext? Sounds like a interesting read

😎cool story bro👍

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 9 hours ago

I was not ready for that knowledge, yet I am thankful

[-] Baaahb@feddit.nl 6 points 22 hours ago

That sounds like a "councilor" and not a therapist. A therapist has qualifications.

let’s make videos that start as latina twerk compilations and end with latinas being violently abducted by ICE, compilations…

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 day ago

That'll shock a few people, but a whole lot of others are gonna need to buy more tissues.

And yes, I will kink shame in this case.

[-] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 22 hours ago
