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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Best parental control is to have it in a room that is viable to everyone. My friend's parent did that by having their laptop step up in the kitchen.

To those saying he's too young to have his own computer anyway if he's home schooled at age11-12 depending on grade he will get his own laptop free from the school until school ends for him its possible

11 and watching ****? Good Lord...Take the laptop away and ground him. Too young for that stuff.

You are the parent right?? Just take it away and don't let him use it without you there. Simple as that

It's natural. When boys hit puberty, they watch ****, and there's really nothing you can do about it.

Maybe don't give your ELEVEN YEAR OLD a laptop?!? Parenting.

Wow 100+ comments and no one says set the policy at the router? No one says use Linux or FreeBSD? Depending on the provider you can get several logins and control it at the provider level. Last, no laptop use without a patent right there supervising directly. Come on, you let an 11 year old beat you????

He's 11, he'll learn about this stuff sooner or later. I'd suggest talking to him about it instead of just taking shit away from him for a natural curiosity. Though it is weird that an 11 year old has his own laptop.

That's what you get. Nothing more annoying than parental software when tryna whack it. I get you want to keep him safe, but he's going to do it anyways and do you really want to know what he's doing it to?
