Wattpad & Tick-tock

I'm mortified I'm typing this but just cannot get my head around it.

My 15 yr old son started watching Wattpad and it was stories or photos about other teenagers wearing & soiling nappies. At the same time we established this, we found soiled nappies hidden in the house and laxatives. I kept wondering why his toilet was left in such a mess after use!! We took him to the GP as I was scared it was an eating disorder. GP weighed him monthly, tried to talk to my son on his own, but he wouldn't open up to the doctor. Hubby prevented access so our son couldn't go on Wattpad and kept an eye on the content of his phone. Our son was very underweight and put a stone on, had stopped looking at Wattpad for a few months. He's then been away on 2 holidays and we found the toilet a mess again when we went for a walk after dinner. That made us look at his phone usage and he's back on Wattpad - having never deleted the App in the first place!

What is this about? Is our son weird? I'm at a loss

He probably has a fetish for wearing and using nappies. Try speaking to him in a nice way and ask him if he wants to be back in nappies. But set ground rules if this is what he wants.
You are not alone, there are millions of teens and adults that are into this. Look at it this way, better nappies than drugs and alcohol.
