    What a terrible parent. She enabled her 14 yr old kid by letting him use her old laptop with unfettered internet access, but somehow it’s THEIR fault she couldn’t be bothered to keep tabs on the kid?

    I guess she’d be the type to also sue the forestry industry if she ever got a paper cut, or sue a tree because she drove into it.

      It’s trivial to enable parental controls or block domain access from provider software. She’s clearly projecting her failure as a parent.

      Sad part is, she’s set her kid up for decades of therapy over it in a public setting.

        Forgot the non-technological part. Talk to your kid, and expect natural urges will win out so give them some guidance to navigate the real world out there. Being restrictive just backfires, either sooner or later in the person’s life.

          An old saying I took to heart many years ago while raising my kids went something like “It’s not your job as a parent to protect your kid from the world, it is your job to prepare them for it.”

        Yup, I feel terrible for that kid getting dragged along because of her bullshit. I hope the kid is smarter than her and can escape the day he turns 18.

      I think the real issue is not the terrible parent but the law on the books banning porn… Karen is going to Karen but to make it the law of the land is very much an issue.

      She’s still waiting on those checks from Durex.

      Prudes gonna prude. I had access to porn at age 10 and that was before digital porn existed. Where there’s a will there’s a way, and parents aren’t going to stop hormones from doing their thing. Guidance and education is far more helpful than prohibition and shame, but a lot of parents can’t get past their own discomfort to do what’s best for their kid.
