What to do if you catch your 6 year old son looking at nude pictures?

Question

My son typed "girls" in You tube and was watching some sort of video with naked people in it.

Answer 1

Firstly I'd say set parental controls AND supervise your son at all times on the internet for the protection of your whole family. Secondly, this is normal little kids like to play "doctor" and "house" and all those look-and-don't-tell games because they're curious. Find a nice age appropriate book that explains what he wants to know and read it with him. Then YOU are in charge of what he learns and the manner in which it is presented.

Its normal, don't yell at him about what he was looking at, just the method of finding it.

Answer 2

parental control. move the computer somewhere you are allways at and tell him if you are not int he room he cant get on the comp.

Answer 3

Talk to him about how nudity is not wrong, but how it can be inappropriate in certain circumstances.  

Supervising him more closely on the internet may cause him to think that its taboo and he'll try to find more.  Keep an eye from a distance and make sure to only intervine when he deliberatly searches it out.  

Filters can work to a certain extent, but are often images can slip through, but either way, they should be activated.

Answer 4

How is it that you knew what your son was doing but only after the fact? Sorry, but this is YOUR fault! Put parental controls on the computer and don't let your children use it without STRICT supervision!
