DS (14) had 2 mates round and I was aware of 'something' going on, as they were clustered round his ipad, but quickly shut it down when I walked past.
My 'sixth sense' just made me curious, so I interrogated asked him about it later on his own, and he admitted that they'd been looking at some of their teacher's twitter accounts.
Their sports/rugby coach identifies himself as 'teacher at XYZ school' and his profile pic is wearing school logo sports kit. He does say 'all views my own'. His own posts are mostly of the school teams he coaches / match results and retweets of sporting stuff.
However, when you click on who he 'follows' a lot of it is 18+ adult/porn accounts. So within two clicks off his profile it was all pretty hardcore anal/oral videos and stuff.
My son and his friends had been checking who he followed, and this is what they had found.
I know this stuff exists, and I know 14 year-olds can easily find it if they want to, but AIBU in thinking that a teacher, and 'role-model' for some of the boys, should keep this off his very public twitter account, where he is being seen to represent the school?
