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.

that's what happens when you give an 11 year old kid his own laptop...

What 11 year old needs a laptop? Plus, he should be supervised at all times on the computer. Chalk this one up to BAD PARENTING!!!

Yes because it's not like parents can watch there kids 24/7 and it's not like kids are now needing computers and laptops at a much younger age now because that's just the way the world is heading now and it's also not like he is a young boy coming into puberty. The dad tried to set up some parental locks to stop his son that hasn't worked so now he will of course do something else. It isn't bad parenting it's natural parenting.

I bought my laptop when i was 14. But **** is perfectly normal, but if you are worried they do make parental controls kids can't get around.

Simple solution set up the laptop in a family room so you can see what your son is doing. Only allow him on it during the week to do school stuff and then on weekends allow your son on it for Facebook and games but if he is at any point caught watching **** then he loses all weekend privliges and gets grounded. Also maybe get a professional to set up the parental locks and show you how to do it rather than do it yourself just to make sure.

Why does an 11 year old have a computer ? There's no reason.

#107 I agree. No reason for them to do their assignments or give them in. It's not like they need to take the tests that are possibly made as a quiz on school's moodle or something. And no reason for them to make presentations for school. They can use bigger format of paper and draw/write everything on. Surely they have a library nearby that is open all the time and it's not like finding information on the internet is way easier and you have much more material. While we're at it, why even show them electricity till they're 18. It's not like they need the light bulbs. They can easily use a candle. Or have night vision goggles.

It's 2013 guys, an 11 year old having a laptop isn't that odd. 11 years old is about 6th grade (or whatever it's equivalent is in other countries) and I remember many essays and research projects assigned then. And these days, there is no handwriting papers. He might not necessarily need his own laptop, but if he's otherwise a good kid I don't see why not.

Why are you trying to stop him from watching ****...? He's probably hitting puberty; it's natural. YDI, prude noob.

How about instead of parental locks, you sit down and talk to him about it?

Can't you just take the laptop away? And why did you buy him a laptop? He's too young to have a laptop.

I didn't have my first phone until I was at least 13, let alone a laptop. Wow. He's lucky, and why not take it away from him if it's actually a problem for you? Like, honestly?
