My wife, kids(3 girls), and I recently went to visit my mother-in-law who lives out of state.
The cousins came over and spent several days there too.
I was on grandma's pc trying to print return boarding passes when I noticed several questionable web sites listed in the address drop down menu. I looked at history and sure enough - lots of porn surfing.
The dates/times matched up to when my nephew (age 12) showed up with his family. I knew that his mom caught him about 2 years ago surfing porn and they have all but eliminated his pc access at home ever since then.
So I had to decide - do I tell his mom & dad and put stress on the remaining day the family would be together.
Do I just ignore things.
Or do I have a chat with little mr. curious.
I ended up taking him aside and telling him that I knew about his viewing activities, and while a little curiosity was okay, that he had better obey his parent's wishes for now. I also told him that it was my opinion that if he spent too much time viewing what was available on the internet that he would get a wrong sense of the value of women - that they would be cheapened in his mind. And while that may not hurt him now, that it would eventually hurt him - and his future relationships.
I guess he's not smart enough to know about pc "history" yet.
I deleted his viewing history, and I'm not going to tell his parents.
I decided to save him that trouble - this time.
I'm not sure if my little talk with him was effective or not, but I know that he'll probably not forget it.
