Poll: yes/no? My 15 year old wants me to attach a web cam to his computer...What do you think?

Question

He can't install it...I'd have to. He bought it with saved up money.

Answer 1

if you let him buy it you might as well let him use it. but who knows what hes going to do with it...  

Answer 2

NO. that just opens up a whole new can of worms. Hello, 15y/o boy, Hormones.

Answer 3

Hook it on up!

Answer 4

If a twelve year can take a 9 mm hand gun to school and I see the problem with a web cam for a 15 year old.

Answer 5

I guess it depends on the child.. young adult.

I won't allow one here. I already know what  can happen and won't bother tempting problems.

If my daughter bought one, I'd tell her she can use it when she moves into her own home. LOL

Answer 6

Eh, I don't think it's a good idea. BAD things can be done on webcam lol seems kinda dangerous

Answer 7

Well, he bought it....sooo...I'd say yeah. It was somethin he really wanted, and he bought it with his own money, then yes. But if he is gonna use it for inappropriate reasons, then no.

Just Keepin it reall! :D

Answer 8

Yes.... the worst that can happen is he will meet some lovely perverts...

lmao

Answer 9

meh, u shud hook up a camera in his room......make sure it's hidden......really try this......if he's good for a wek......he'll always be good ^.^

Answer 10

You know your son, and just go with your gut

I have one and it is fun to web cam, you might enjoy it as well

all the best

Answer 11

well maybe, make sure you know what he'll be doing with it

Answer 12

If it's a guy, i would say go for it.

He can do much worse outside of your house -without your supervision.

Answer 13

Yeah, if he payed for it, but watch out because your perfect little boy will most likely use it for cyber s*x. Cyber s*x isn't going to hurt him, but just make sure he isn't uploading explicit videos to xtube or something,

Answer 14

Yeah, sure. It is a lot of fun to have a web cam. I am actually wanting to buy one, myself. Go ahead, and try it out yourself.

Answer 15

Not a good idea. I'd ask him why? There is a lot of trouble to be had using a web-cam. I'm not saying that is him but you know.....good luck. ♥

Answer 16

I would do it since he already has it.  As long as you closely monitor how he's using it.  I wouldn't want my 15 year old doing some inappropriate chatting.

Answer 17

Suuure? Its fine.

Answer 18

no he just waiting to be  cyber striper...for pedophiles

Answer 19

Yes.

Answer 20

I think you should if you are capable of it.  As long as he's not doing inappropriate things, what's the harm?

Answer 21

i wouldn't let mine

Answer 22

I'd think that over before you do it. The rules change when the old cam gets clicked on :)

Answer 23

No way, it's too many opportunities for unchaperoned stuff

Answer 24

Well, may as well. Not a bad idea.

Answer 25

yea u should obviously if he saved his money he really wants it

Answer 26

NO,  Why ask for trouble.  What good will come of it?  He'll just be more addicted to the computer than he probably already is.  It's an open door to potential disaster.

Answer 27

I'm 18

and with the things boys have asked me to do on webcams I would say no. I dont really see the point in having one

Answer 28

Let him since he saved up money to buy it.

Just make rules about what can and cannot be done on webcam. example NO nudity.

Answer 29

using the web cam to talk to family members would be okay. Using it responsibly and losing it for risky behavior? reward program.
