my son is 10 and has an xbox and online he friends are from school.
yesterday he comes to me and asks me if I have a camera he can borrow so I ask him what it's for and he starts to tell me about this 18 year old who has added him as a friend and wants him to send a picture of himself.
my son doesn't have a phone as we feel he Is too young.
I started a conversation with my son about this person and he started telling me that this person has been asking if my son has facebook or whattsap or any social media things.
It made me very uneasy something just doesn't feel right so I asked my oldest son who is also 18 to message this person to not contact my 10 year old again that we feel it is inappropriate to be asking him for any pictures or any social media addresses and that if he tries to contact him again we would call the police.
my oldest son has blocked this person and I have spoke to my son about it and all he said was mum I asked him if he was a pervert and he said no.
I have removed his xbox from his room and he now will play it in his older brothers room with somebody there.
have I over acted or am I right.
