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?

Potentially wants to know what it all looks like, if all women look like her mum etc. The fact that she's gone for another lady doing it suggests it's not as sexual as it appears.

I watched Titanic with a 6 year old recently and she got very angry that she didn't get tp see Kate Winslets front bottom as she'd heard that she was 'nudey' Grin

Nutty read my post FFS I was in the dentist with a 3yo check up. She plays a game. I don't know when the other search came as she isn't usually allowed on my phone.

I wasn't asking you to pass judgement on my parenting.

Thanks allthewaves that's a good link. She's still awake reading so went for a chat. She was upset that id seen it at first. Kept asking how I knew. Then just kept saying she wanted to see what other people looked like. I have talked about not keeping secrets, and she knows that people it's not the norm for people outside our immediate family to see our bodies. She said nobody has, and none of her friends are talking about it at school.

SomeOtherFuckers · 08/09/2017 20:12

I imagine it's women because it's probably not sexual - more searching for information she feels is somewhat taboo , maybe she wants to be a grown lady but knows they look different to her and wants to know how so

Who knows barbie. Phonics way of learning baffles me frequently

OP posts:
StarryCorpulentCunt · 08/09/2017 20:14

Can I point out that some people find spelling easy from a very early age. We were taught phonics in school. I ignored them completely and spelled things the way I saw them in books I had read or were read to me. I could easily have spelt that correctly at 6. Those same people may also struggle with particular words. I can spell antidisestablishmentarianism off the top of my head but can't spell necessary for the life of me. The word fully may even have been a product of autocorrect which would not have converted uver to other.

Just report if you suspect trolling, why bother engaging?

plank · 08/09/2017 20:22

Thanks starry. I can't be assed justifying myself to people troll hunting me. I just wanted abit of advice as I wasn't really prepared for this at her little age.

I going to have a good look at the nspcc link with her and get on amazon for a good body book for her.

I was very interested and giggly about nudity and sex (what little I knew of it) at six..men's bodies, women's bodies, really didn't matter. Just curiosity over a taboo subject. Don't act mad or embarrassed or giggly or shocked would be my advice. My mother did that with me when I had questions and I never again felt comfortable asking her or being open. You want open communication lines with your kids so they don't go looking for info elsewhere that ends up doing more harm than good. Just my perspective.

amusedbush · 08/09/2017 20:37

Oh, I've not had a deletion in a while! 😬

plank · 08/09/2017 20:39

Thanks dust. I hope that as come across tonight. Big cuddle in bed and talked things over. I'm a HCP and told her that I went to uni learning all about bodies so any questions she should shoot them my way rather than youtubes. Fingers crossed x

Have you asked her ?

plank · 08/09/2017 20:43

Hallomi yes, she just said she "liked it" and wanted to see what other people looked like. It's curiosity I guess. The lady pulling other lady's pants down though. Didn't quite get to the bottom of that

I'm getting really pissed off with people continuously troll hunting.
If you don't believe then bloody report!
I could spell many things that many young kids couldn't, so spelling 'fully' at 6 isn't unbelievable!
I'd have a chat with her and make sure she never has the internet unsupervised till she's older.

ems137 · 08/09/2017 20:55

My 6ish year old daughter googled "Willys" and "poo" because she thought it was funny.

My 8 year old son googled "boobies" and "nakid boobs" because his mate told him to and he thought it was funny.

I get changed in front of them, breastfeed their baby siblings and talk to them about bodies and puberty etc. There's nothing sinister going/gone on, it was just their childish (obviously) sense of humour.

mishfish · 08/09/2017 20:57

Hey OP

I had similar with my son earlier on this year and he's slightly older than your DD.

Are there any children in her class with much older siblings? My son was googling worse than what your daughter was- his old class mates had siblings in secondary school who I think has heard/been told inappropriate things then spread it around the class.

Ask her what she's curious about and reassure her that she can ask you anything.

I went over everything with my son, fully checked his iPad, photos etc, asked him if anyone was speaking to him online or asking him to do things, if anyone touched him etc and when I was confident nothing has happened I reassured him that if there was anything at all he could always ask me- so he asked me what my favourite dinosaur was Hmm

notanotherNC · 08/09/2017 20:59

Not all kids learn phonics! My eldest was a whole word reader and when it came to spelling memorised how to spell words individually, rather than working out how to sound the spellings out. If you think the OP is a troll or whatever just report, hardly seems that crazy it isn't true though!

Evening all.

Thanks for the reports on this one. We think it's fair to give the OP the benefit of the doubt here.

You'll probably have noticed a few gaps in the thread. That's because we've deleted all the troll hunting posts, which are against talk guidelines y'know - you might have noticed us mentioning that once or twice before.

Anyway, we're leaving this up for now - unless there's more troll hunting and it ends up with more holes than Swiss cheese.

Peace and love.

kali110 · 08/09/2017 21:47

Dilligaf81 i was taught that!

i* just wanted abit of advice as I wasn't really prepared for this at her little age*

If you are just after advice then it would have beeen a better idea not to post in AIBU 😂. Maybe you could ask MNHQ to move the thread??

plank · 08/09/2017 22:19

Thanks Lou! Promise I'm genuine!!

TrishanFlips · 08/09/2017 22:53

Anyone remember the game doctors and nurses at that age. Or I'll show you mine if you show me yours. It's just natural curiosity. Nothing to worry about.
