She is proper starkers!
Have quizzed him as to whether or not they have had sex, he says no.
Have confescated phone and laptop.
Spoke to him at length about how wrong it is.
Told GFs mum.
Now what.

Well, that pic is only a step away from being posted online and becoming public property for the next hundred years or so.

So I am not surprised that her Mum is beside herself.

And not trying to be alarmist but isn't the OP's son in posession of child porn?

Please don't flame me, just trying to show why they are so upset. I would be.

TriplePachyderm · 31/08/2010 14:21

well he couldn't make her do it

and yes he would like to have a naked picture of his gf

you shoud just explain to him that its not right to have it as a screensaver and not really a good idea to have it on his ohone at all

but punishing him for receiving a photo?

what is it going to teach him

MollysChambers · 31/08/2010 14:21

Very very silly idea to have nudie photos on phone. Always possible they could end up in wrong hands and be seen by whole school. Definitely point this out to them.

I am not suggesting OP's son would post it online.

Anyone who got hold of the phone could do it.

TriplePachyderm · 31/08/2010 14:22

child porn?
really?

and how is it one step

surely goobers son isn't going to do anything like that

Goober · 31/08/2010 14:23

Agree with the Child Porn thing.

Yes, technically it would be treated as child porn I believe. He has it as his screensaver??? That would worry me. Seems like he has zero resopect for her...

ok when does it become child porn then?

I have naked photos of my children

because she is under 16?
so is he

TriplePachyderm · 31/08/2010 14:24

goober that is very sad, I feel sorry for your son

Goober · 31/08/2010 14:25

He is only 15, a child, but I still view it as child porn.

My own DD is only 14.

I'd be shocked too if I was her mum. She must be confident about her body image though which is good - I'd never have posed nekkid at that age or ever.

She is underage. To be in possession of nude photos of her would be regarded as a criminal offence. As would having sex with her. Whether that is right or wrong is of no consequence. It's the law.

why is it child porn?

a phot the girl herself too and choose to share with her boyfirend

he is being a bit a of a plank having it as a screensaver but he wasn't hiding it from you

so when she turns 16 it wont be child porn?

hmm doesn't work like that

GypsyMoth · 31/08/2010 14:26

child porn? made by a child....i doubt this incident is exclusive to these 2! have you all seen facebook? and how about msn with webcam etc.....us adults give them the tools....the mobiles,laptops etc,none of which are essential,and we all know the pitfalls....then you react this way op??

TriplePachyderm · 31/08/2010 14:26

*chose

thisisyesterday · 31/08/2010 14:26

the only thing i would be saying to him is that if your girlfriend sends you a PRIVATE picture of herself then it's bloody disrespectful tpo use it as a screensaver where anyone can see it

it is not child porn

SHE took the picture and sent it willingly.

you are so overreacting

SandStorm · 31/08/2010 14:27

It is actually child pornography. We had a talk from an Esafety officer who had some quite frankly shocking revelations. For example, a photo of her lifting her skirt to show her bikini is totally acceptable, showing her knickers is pornography!

Because she is totally starkers and she's under the age of 18 she is still a child.

You need to ensure that the photo is deleted and that neither she nor he repeat this again, for their own protection.

This is also the ideal time to acknowledge that your son is a healthy teenager with healthy interests and however you handle this you need to do it sensitively without embarassing either of them any more than they probably already are.
