6yo DD searching for rude/naked pics

Hear for traffic.

Been to a dentist appointment with my 3 yo son. There was a delay and my 6yo DD was becoming tired and ratty. She asked if she could borrow my phone to play her game. I allowed her as long as she turned the volume down. All ok. My DS had his check up and I went to get the phone off my daughter and she was guarded/clicked some buttons and handed it back to me. I didn't react got them in the car. Both bathed in bed now and just looked and she was on YouTube and searched for "lady pulling uver lady pants down".

Not to drip feed I saw something suspicious about 2 weeks ago "fully nekid lady" in my search history when I went into YouTube for something wondered where this could of come from. I have a teenage brother who had been round at the house a few days earlier so didn't investigate any further and put it down to his grabbing my phone. So I rang him and said that I had put it down to him and I don't mind either way but had he had my phone. He said he hadn't, I believe him, he said he didn't even have my passcode which he doesn't.

WTF she's asleep now.

Any ideas why this has happened? What I should do to broach the subject tomorrow?

She could maybe just want to see what is down there? Or a friend has said something that has made her curious. They are the best cases but obviously there is the chance there could be something more sinister behind it. I think you need to get to the bottom of why she was searching for those terms. Could you try and have a chat to her when you're both relaxed about the underwear rule and not keeping secrets. Maybe ask her if there's anything she wants to ask or tell you?
Has she had unsupervised/semi supervised access to your phone before? She could have seen something on there maybe a pop up or something?

plank · 08/09/2017 19:32

Oh FFS I'm being trolled. I'm not a troll and if there's any way of proving myself I am happy too?

Anyone with any proper advise?

I know it's curiosity but why of women? We're quite relaxed in house interms of our bodies. I get changed in front of her. Door is open when I'm in bath etc.

I would be concerned as she is so young. I think children start to develop a certain curiosity but 6 seems awfully young to be looking for things like that. She must have got these ideas for searches from someone.

I think Corbyn had given quite good advice so far.

If you're so relaxed with your bodies (which is entirely up to you, your rules, in your own house etc. etc.), I'm not sure why she'd be so curious, as it's something presumably that your daughter finds normal. Although isn't getting changed in front of your daughter rather unusual/unnecessary?

Barbiessharptoenails · 08/09/2017 19:38

I'm more impressed at her spelling with the double l's used properly.

That's news to me?

plank · 08/09/2017 19:42

Possums I didn't think t was usual. I was living with my mum until I was 27 and still could walk freely into her room whilst she was getting changed or sit having a brew with her whilst she was in the bath.

What do you expect when you give a 6 yo unsupervised access to the internet? Grow a pair and actually parent her when she's feeling crabby.

Nuttynoo · 08/09/2017 19:46

Also how on earth is changing in front of your daughter unusual? Women have done it for years. My gran used to change in front of us too. Ffs some people don't half chat some shite.

Expemsiveuniform · 08/09/2017 19:47

Ds was 7 he searched for ladies with big boobies.

He grew up just fine. I supervised his Internet a lot more closely after that. You need to do the same.

RubyGoat · 08/09/2017 19:48

Barbie - My DD can spell "pulling" correctly, she's 5.

Other than that, what Corbyn said.

Allthewaves · 08/09/2017 19:50

Have you had chats about the body and different parts. I liked the nspcc pants campaign about keeping safe

Barbiessharptoenails · 08/09/2017 19:51

It was more the contrast of being unable to spell other but being able to spell fully.

NoMoreDecorating · 08/09/2017 19:54

Perhaps you should put an adult content filter on your internet if your DD is having unsupervised access to your phone.

CorbynsBumFlannel · 08/09/2017 19:55

It's possible they clicked on the predictive text for some words not others?

wildbhoysmama · 08/09/2017 19:55

Nuttynoo you're being ridiculous and inflamatory. We've all been there when they're crabbit or we're stressed and a wee game keeps them occupied for 10 minutes. You cannot comment on someone else's parenting like that, take no notice OP.
My DS when he was 8 searched for "boobies", it was blocked but we can see search History. We had a word and it seems another boy in school was telling them all to do it. We had a lot of chat about not being a sheep and appropriate language/ content etc and we had tears but quickly sorted.
She's just curious/ heard something at school, no need to worry.

NoMoreDecorating · 08/09/2017 19:55

Barbie My DD at 7 can spell "frustrated" correctly but not "much". Sometimes it's the simpler words children struggle with.

It could be normal curiosity or not. I don't think anyone should assume.
I agree that unsupervised internet for a 6yo is a bad idea. That's not to say that there's anything wrong with an occasional game on your phone while you're right next to them but for the child to search what she did without the op noticing she must have been unsupervised for a while. You would be surprised at what kids can access even with filters applied. They aren't foolproof.

PollyFlint · 08/09/2017 20:01

I know it's curiosity but why of women?

Well, why not women? Why do you find that more concerning than if she was looking up up pictures of men?

I would imagine that some kids at school have been giggling about how they've heard you can see naked ladies pulling their pants down online and she's thought 'Really? I wonder if that's true?' I wouldn't worry (although I wouldn't give a six-year-old unsupervised internet/YouTube either).

It really doesn't matter whether you get changed in front of her or not - most parents change in front of small children but that doesn't stop literally all small children from finding boobs and pants and willies and bums massively hilarious and fascinating.
