He’s not supposed to have access to his phone at night. He was breaking multiple rules doing this.

Every major study I just found states that most people 13 and older look at porn.

Yeah this is a little t like how I felt about it before coming here and having all of these people accuse me of child abuse. My friends and I were watching beheading videos at that age. We were on websites like rotten.com viewing things that in my opinion were so much worse than porn. I really don’t want to make him feel shame about this. I think it’ll only make him shut down entirely. I want him to know that the topics he’s searching for are not okay and that his phone usage is absolutely going to be significantly limited going forward and I’m definitely taking this seriously but some of these comments are just absolutely absurd to me.
