Number one - she can password lock the computer so her daughter can't get on it.

Number two - she needs to talk to her and tell her that sex is for adults that are in love. That you don't share/look/touch anyone.

Number three - tell the other parent

THat's just off the top of my head!

already told other parent
had sex talk but having it again
it's one of those kiddie tablets, so she's trying to find out how the girls learned about this app
there are pictures of men's privates....all of them appear to be international....Kuwait, for example
trying to decide is she should call the police, but doesn't want the girls removed from the home
WTF??????????????????????????????????????????
frustrated right now
she has been about to bust for a week since she found out. She wanted to ask me for help, but I have established boundaries and she was afraid. She finally broke down today and asked for my help.
I actually feel sorry for her....but shit, I didn't sign up for this
about to head home....pounding headache.....

A friend of mine walked into her daughter's bedroom and saw her jump and act guilty. So, she looked at the laptop. She had been on some site that was VERY graphic. Really sad that there are those type of sites out there that young children can get to.
When my son was a young teenager, I caught him going to some inappropriate sites. He got in BIG trouble.

Absolutely! The mind boggles, doesn't it? I really wonder how she managed to find this chat room. Was it something Bri already had set up? Has the girl already been abused by one of Bri's boyfriends du jour?

Mama, it's pretty alarming that she didn't know what to do.

The sad thing is this. Bri was raised by an addict and her grandparents took her in. S
If half the shit she has has told me is true, she had a horrible childhood. She told me today that was the only respectful adult she knew. That's so sad.
I told her about my "bad" friend that used to sneak the Playboys into her room so we could gawk and giggle. We didn't have the internet then. So I get kids being curious and naughty, but, to me, this is some bad stuff.
I am calmer now. I told hubs and he just shook his head and reminded me that Bri's daughter has learned this type of behavior from her mother.
Before we left, I told Bri that I appreciated her trying to honor the boundaries that I have put in place and that tomorrow I expected work and nothing more about this drama at work. She said she understood.
It just boggles the mind.
Going to zone out on netflix for a bit.
Fenny, I have been thinking about you and you mom today. I hope she is well.
