The 14 year old’s mother left an old laptop in a closet and now alleges it’s adult sites’ problem that he watched porn.

A Kansas mother who left an old laptop in a closet is suing multiple porn sites because her teenage son visited them on that computer.

The complaints, filed last week in the U.S. District Court for Kansas, allege that the teen had “unfettered access” to a variety of adult streaming sites, and accuses the sites of providing inadequate age verification as required by Kansas law.

A press release from the National Center for Sexual Exploitation, which is acting as co-counsel in this lawsuit, names Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Techpump Solutions (Superporn.com), and Titan Websites (Hentai City) as defendants in four different lawsuits.

      It’s honestly cringey to me thinking how it’s possible that the gen Alphas of tomorrow are likely to be in a timeline where their parents could very likely have porn floating on the internet. It’s just so f’d up to think about but my god I don’t get why people have this fascination with publicizing their sex life. It’s so gross. Ew ew

        Reminded of that story of the mother who sent her (adult) son nudes to spread around his workplace and advertise her onlyfans for her.

        If you don’t want to see people publicizing their sex life, then you can stay off OnlyFans and Fetlife. It’s not difficult.

          Point taken, but not very likely the same magnitude as what’s coming or is potentially already out there. Smart phones make it too easy now. It’ll only get worse…

        I’m not getting your point. Why does it matter if it’s a girl enjoying porn?

        This Karen probably won’t explain sex to her kids, so they have to get info in other ways.

        “Oh no, my little girl found our unsecure laptop and used it to enjoy porn using Chaturbate.”

        Yeah I still don’t see how it’s the platform’s problem that that mom failed to lock the laptop. And I feel really bad for her kid, for having such a Karen for a mom.

          I didn’t say it was the platforms problem. The topic was how the boy wasn’t a victim. So you go on to say that the girl WOULD be a victim (to her mother) proving my point.

            The boy would definitely also be his mom’s victim, but please note what I said: “I feel really bad for her kid for having a Karen for a mom.”
            That you read that to only mean “girl” is not my problem. As far as I know, her kid is not a girl, but a boy.

              It’s funny because we don’t even disagree. Your first comment isn’t even related to the topic and your second is arguing a moot point. But go off I guess.

                It depends on what you consider the crime to be. Is it the mom outing her kid’s porn habits or the kid using a platform in the way it’s meant to be used, but not by kids of his age?

                If it’s the latter, I’d argue that is a victimless crime. If it’s the former, then yes, the kid (male or female) would be the victim.

                  Well I’d hate to assume what OP meant by “crime” but whatever it was certainly wasn’t victimless.

                  I don’t think either of your options for “crime” here make sense. The root problem isn’t the porn site. Or “outing” the kid. It’s that kids probably don’t need unrestricted access to the entire internet. All mom had to do was put a password on the laptop.

      The victim is probably the porn industry in this case. An unsecured laptop on an unsecured network is a porn machine. They had a porn machine in their house the whole time. This makes about as much sense as suing Jack Daniels because your kid got drunk when you went away and didn’t lock up your booze.

      I believe lawsuits like this are purposefully manufactured to try and elevate this narrative. She certainly wants the world to operate like what you bring up. The more stories like this pop-up, the more conservative parents will be scared and push for legislation.

      And all because she’s too lazy and / or too incompetent to properly parent her child. If you really think something is dangerous for your kid, you’re the number one person responsible to keep them away from it.

        How could it be my fault my kid got hit by a car? The government built the street in front of my house!

          I consider that analogy somewhat different. Being able to leave your home to travel safely is a basic human right. Cars on roads are inherently dangerous, even if you try to be defensive as a pedestrian. You can be sitting in your grassy front yard and vehicles can come crashing in to kill you. That happens on a regular basis in the US. You can be walking on the sidewalk and have a car run you down. The vision of kids running into the street to be hit isn’t the only risk, merely existing is. Hell, there’s plenty of people killed in their home by cars crashing into their houses!

          Car crashes are the #2 reason for children’s deaths in the US (#1 is now guns, it was cars until about 3 years ago). It’s the #3 reason for adults to die after heart disease and cancer. Those stats are actually low balling it because we’re finding the noise and pollution from cars jacks up many of the other categories (including heart disease, cancer, dementia). Living by car roads is just inherently dangerous, regardless of how you try to teach your kids to avoid being run down in their own neighborhood.

          The government building car only infrastructure, I feel, is an immoral and murderous act against the public. It’s categorically different from the parental preference of whether your 14 year old manages to see some porn using a computer you bought on an Internet connection you installed.

    The right wings infatuation with the government needing to parent for them. Tucker opening to an audience with “Daddy’s coming home” and talking about how the left thinks of the government as being the nanny state (how much protection??)

    Eminem had it right, “shouldn’t you have been watching him? Apparently you ain’t parents”

        Well, they want to ban LGBTQIA+ people. This is just the infrastructure they intend to use.

        Once it’s in place, they’ll simply declare any media about people they hate “obscene”.

        The porn ban is more focused on banning trans people. They have been systematically redefining LGBTQ+ people as pornographic, especially trans people. So if they manage to ban porn, they can use that to wipe any and all LGBTQ+ representation. Gay romance novel? Banned cuz it’s porn. Two female characters happened to hold hands? Banned cuz it’s porn. Trans people existing in public? Banned cuz it’s porn.

      When I was in 5th grade my mom tried to have a teacher fired for something and I was teased about it every day until I went to high school in a different town years later. This poor kid will never hear the end of it.

        high school in the early 90’s. (trade school, granted) was great. doom on pcs after school with big 80’s era speakers echoing the shots in the halls. teachers who let us experiment. (electronics was my trade) with things like booze and “what happens if we fill every outlet with 12v electrolytic caps and turn the power back on?”

        learned a lot from that guy.

        he died early 2000’s from alcoholism. sigh.
