Get a rolltop desk, big enough for a computer, & with a lock on it. “Use only with supervision” until she gets the message. ---

[QUOTE=Wee Bairn] And yes how times change- I remember scouring the stacks of photography books at the library, hoping for just one picture of a nude models tit. [/QUOTE] That’s what my friends and I did (well we were looking for male models - but same idea). These kids today they’ve got it way too easy. Are you sure she was _looking_ for porn? I can’t tell you the number of times I have done things like: Google: Bambi _click_ :smack: Google: Bambi +Disney I agree you should still talk to her but it might have really just been an innocent mistake. ---

Make her work for it. I developed some pretty savvy skills by trying to access porn and by hiding those activities from the parental unit. She can benefit from this. You should of course first explain that porn isn’t reality . Get concerned if she asks for a webcam. ---

[QUOTE=Anne Neville] How did the talk with her go, **Leaffan**? [/QUOTE] OK. She confessed, and blamed it on a boy in her class who told her to check out “naked men” and “lesbian sex” and other choice Googles. So, obviously it was no innocent mistake. (However I honestly think she’s protecting one of her female friends. I have my reasons.) Since the talk on Monday night I’ve checked the browser and Google history and everything’s fine. She, surprisingly enough, didn’t seem that embarrassed once confronted. More like, “Oh well someone told me to do it and I did- shrug.” She’s a good kid, really, but I’m starting to dread the teenage years! ---
