Today, I spent three hours painstakingly installing and configuring some parental control software on my 11-year-old son's laptop after I caught him watching porn. Barely an hour after returning the laptop, I caught him watching yet more porn on it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to download a parental block so my dad would stop watching porn on my laptop. FML
Today, I had to create a new password for my computer. I had to do it to stop my father from watching porn on my computer. FML
Today, I borrowed my 23-year-old son's laptop. The sticky keyboard gave me a good idea of his browsing history. FML
Today, my son shaved his eyebrows. Two days ago, I caught my 10-year-old daughter watching porn. I'm totally winning at parenting. FML
Today, I finished installing remote access CCTV cameras around my house due to the high rate of burglaries around my neighborhood. I turn it on to see my teenage son rubbing one out on the couch. FML
Today, I came home, turned on my laptop, and turned the TV on mute so I could check my email. My mom came home an hour later, took a look at me on the couch, then the TV, and asked what on earth I was watching. I looked up from my laptop and realized it was porn. FML
Today, I was having computer problems, so I let my friend have remote access to fix them. We were video-chatting on Skype at the time, and so he thought it'd be hilarious to load hardcore porn in my browser the moment he saw my mom enter the room from behind me. I'm now grounded. FML
Today, I was babysitting my friend's 12-year-old son while his dad was having an emergency procedure at the hospital. I walked into the den to see if he wanted to go out to dinner, only to find him watching Pornhub on my iPad. FML
Today, I had to teach my son to use private browsing because his porn keeps appearing in the search history. It worked, it’s no longer in the history, but he has added his favourite videos as tabs on the favourites bar. Either he’s a bigger idiot than I thought or he’s doing it on purpose. FML
Today, I woke up to my wife yelling at my 11-year-old because she found porn on the laptop. Now I have to come clean and tell her it was me so I can get him off the hook. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Is it really necessary for an 11 year old to have his own personal laptop? And OP, unless he bought it himself, you have rights to take it away

#1, there are many things that could be done to stop him. Snap his computer in half. Turn off the Internet router. Stab him, light him on fire, and dump his body behind McDonalds. Or simply just take the computer away.

I don't see what the big deal is... let him watch the ****. He's doing no harm to anybody at all, he's curious so let him do what he wants to do.

Um being a good and responsible parent is NOT letting your child do whatever they want whenever they want to. What happens if he finds a female willing to explore their sexual curiosities with each other? Are you going to say " they're just curious, let them do what they want to do."? Just because they're curious does not mean they should satisfy their curiosity at such a young age. His balls haven't even dropped, I mean he's eleven! He does not have an inherent right to watch **** at that age. 14-16 is a more "natural" age to be watching ****. Anthony before that is too young. Kids need to be kids while they have a chance.

Anything** (not Anthony, really autocorrect? Really?)

Why would you go through all of that trouble? Why don't you just let him watch ****? All boys do that. It's natural.

Why would you give an eleven year old a laptop in the first place? YDI

The real thing he needs to learn is how not to get caught!

Try using the router to block key words from the internet. I did that at my old work place, blocked 'facebook' amazing how much time that freed.

For every Internet filter out there, there is probably around ten thousand times as many teenagers trying to find a way around them, and they WILL find a way. If your son wants to watch **** he'll find a way around the filter sooner or later. If you really don't want him to watch **** then take away the source of the **** like his laptop. If he needs it to do school related assignments then let him use only when he is in the same room so you can occasionally turn around and make sure he's not getting "distracted." Kids will be kids and for some kids **** will always be a source of fixation and since he's already watching **** it might be a good time to give him the talk about the birds and the bees OP

Stop trying to prevent him from doing what all boys are bound to do.

Time to take it away. Be a damn parent.

Why does he even have a laptop? At this age kids would be more safe using shared computer in the living room for example?
