Please I really need your help with the internet my Friend is crying hysterically?

Question

Ok this is what (my Friend) has to say he does not have a yahoo so I am asking this for him. Me and my Friend are both (13 years old.) This is the story my Friend is telling me he said that he looked at child pornography on his pc and he clicked on many links to allot lot of sights with child pornography on them but my Friend did not download or sign up to any of them, all he did was just click on some links and pictures he is very scarred passing back and forth crying. Please my friends here at yahoo I am asking you this from the bottom of my heart will my friend get in trouble even if he deletes the history. I am ready to cry for him he is my best friend and I am only trying to help him I hate to see him sad. Will he get in trouble? My friend and I are both 13 years of age and live in the U.S.A. My friend viewed this to day.

Answer 1

Tell your Friend that he should just come forward and admit to it. Or delete history. That always works. there are complicated ways to get the history back, but the parents wont be able to figure it out. :)

Answer 2

thats s**y give me some of those links

Answer 3

Goodness.. :/

if you do get introuble which i doubt you would just explain how everything happened and dont lie!

tell them you accidently clicked on it.

good luck.

:/

Answer 4

wait. r u guys scared his parents will find out? or that its illegal?

if u mean his parents, it depends on whether his parents keep tabs and filters and what not. deleting the history is basically the best thing u can do

but if u mean whether its illegal, dont be stupid. if they went after after kid under eighteen who's looked at p**n there wouldnt be any kids left. don't take that seriously! but in the future, stick to stolen magazines. dont look that c**p up on the internet because youll get a whole lot more than you bargain for (viruses emails and what not).

Answer 5

It doesn't matter if he deletes his history; it will only be deleted off his computer, it can still be traced by authorities.

Answer 6

Since you are underage you shouldnt mess around with this sort of things.

Nevertheless I guess its not a problem if you delete the history since you did not sigup for anything or give away your adress or any other personal information.

Answer 7

Well, first, child p**n is sick i dont know why he would look at it, second, the only way to be sure would be to set fire to the hard drives, and even then there will be records with his isp.

Answer 8

Don't cry honey....delete the history and stay away from the computer for a month cause your grounded for clickin on the first one. He's not gonna get in trouble.  

Answer 9

it depends who caught him doing this

and you don'nt have to sucribe to anything to get these kinds of pictures you just have to type in key words and i guess the authorities  won't catch your friend if he close it after it appear   it ok don't worry so much.......

Answer 10

deleting the history does NOT delete the files,the pics will stay on your computer cache files.

You can delete those files but they may still stay on the hard drive and be recoverable,all the OS does when you delete a file is mark that spot to be allowed to be over written with new data,however that part of the hard drive may not be over written merely because it has permission to be over written.

To erase data off of a hard drive requires that it be over written usually a random set of binary is used,even by the government.0's 1's.

Deep cleaning requires it to be written over in multiples.that way the written binary is over to over and unable to fill in spaces that may have been missed.

However a child looking at child p**n I don't think would apply in most laws,although it should NOT be sdomething looked for by any age group.

I can say for over a decade of being connected to the net,I have never seen a single child p**n pic.good luck.

Answer 11

the first thing you need to do is calm down, ok im not going to bothering asking why your friend was looking at child porno..however its ushally not that easy to acsess. But child pornography is a crime, and there are tactics the police department uses to trace it to the user so yes if your friend was looking at illegal child p**n he could be charged, however this would be rare, just calm down..if worst comes to worst you can explain the situation and since you are only 13 i doubt there will be seriouse consequences, the important thing is that you learn you lesson and kno that child pornography is a seriouse thing

Answer 12

So lets get this straight. You're a middle aged paedophile who's been looking at child p**n?

Looking through your old questions theres a lot about child p**n!

The police will be around shortly............

Be careful what you say on here. It's easy to trace you through your ip address.

Answer 13

You probably won't get in trouble because you didn't cause the material to go up.  But you should report those sites to the proper law enforcement authorities because they're illegal and the perpetrators should be caught.

Yahoo won't read your message.

Here is how you report it:

Answer 14

Listen Kid.

Tell your friend that is it VERY BAD to look at this stuff and it is VERY wrong.

Yess deleteing this history is very easy but wrong.

calm Down and just relax .

Delete the history and stall.

Yess.

Answer 15

tell him what he did is not right but he has to forgive and forget

Answer 16

im not good with law, but im pretty sure if he deleted the history he wont.  i dont know how to do this but to be safe he should erase the script.

Answer 17

its possible if those sites get busted, or if hes being watched by the police

but i really dont kno

best bet is to just look at regular p**n from now on lol

good luck

Answer 18

Look at this guys questions hes answered, THIS IS A GROWN MAN that has been looking at child p**n and you guys are telling him " good luck" and how to get rid of it... thats pathetic and sick.  

Answer 19

if he deletes the history he wont have anything 2 worry bout

Answer 20

Im thinking this is a joke question, but just incase it's not....stay off of child p**n sites...any p**n sites from now on and no, he/you won't get in trouble.

Answer 21

stop making such a big deal about it. 13 year old guys crying cuz they seen p**n? if you dont want to get in trouble go to control panel and internet and delete the history and cookies so no one will find out and it will clear everything just incase you got a virus from one of the sites

Answer 22

yes through your ip address they can find out even if you delete everything but he is minor so i wouldn't worry about it

in case you dont know an ip address is nearly unique number wich works as the "name" of your computer and it gets stored every time you enter a website

Answer 23

Err... sounds tricky.

I think you should tell parents about it, because even if you delete the history off a computer, it can ALWAYS be traced.

I'm not exaggerating; ALWAYS.

Come clean, get him to stop crying.

Best of luck, guys!

xoxo

Answer 24

first of all EWW!!! thats sick! but anyway thats not the problem here.... I doubt that he will get in trouble because it was an "accident". The cops will only come to his house only if he keeps looking at child p**n....aghh this is so sad!  

Answer 25

nobody is allowed to track your pc legally, unless instructed so, and if you 2 are the only ones that know about it, just keep it to yourselfs... and not do it again hah

Answer 26

why dont you ask mah bawlz how much they care.

Answer 27

He's a sick, sick child.

That's disgusting.

Answer 28

PO PO GONNA GET YO
