I hope authorities were notified. Pretty sure it’s illegal for a 10 yr old to have an Only Fans account. As for the pregnant 7th grader.. the boy/man was likely not in 7th grade

Sad.
Every time there is a young teen pregnant, we must shift the conversation toward the 17-23 yo who participated / instigated the whole thing.

PSA for everyone. Like pp^ she correctly brought in the more responsible (rather irresponsible) figure

PP here. The 7th grader, from what I understand, got pregnant by an 8th grader. So, yes, an older boy, but not that much older. Still sad. I hope she’ll be able to finish her education and that the baby has a loving home and good care.

The OnlyFans girl is more disturbing to me. I think she’s at huge risk for early pregnancy, grooming, and abuse. Young children don’t sexualize themselves for money unless they’ve learned how from somewhere.

That is illegal. Someone should report it.

It’s been really interesting reading everyone’s feedback here. My daughter, who’s now a 16 (almost 17) year old junior, just started dating her first boyfriend this year—and it’s actually the first relationship (and first kiss) for both of them. They’ve been together since the start of junior year and are pretty serious.
It’s not that she didn’t have opportunities—she’s very pretty and popular—but she didn’t go through the whole "middle school dating" phase that your kids are experiencing now. Her MS experience was 6th grade in person, but then COVID hit, and she spent the second half of 6th and all of 7th doing virtual learning. By the time she returned to in-person school in 8th grade, she made friends that included both girls and boys, but I really think losing those middle school years to online learning shifted a lot of things for her generation.

Honestly, I think it’s kind of refreshing. I’ve noticed a lot of teens her age haven’t had a "real" boyfriend or girlfriend yet either. I've noticed a lot of boys are too shy to make the first move and yes, sure, there’s plenty of chatting and flirting on Snapchat—she’s had her share of that too—but most of it doesn’t turn into anything unless there’s a real connection.

Back in the 1980s, when I was in 5th grade, couples started "dating." Amazingly two kids I know "dated" then and have been together the rest of their lives. Got married after college and and are still married now.

It’s not uncommon just because your daughter’s friends haven’t kissed yet.

Not common at all in Ms. Im 18yo Senior (here for the college forum) and most people don't officially date anyone till junior yr nowadays and it's a really small amount but they usually stay together for a long time. Besides that there is a lot of fooling around, no dating.

You need to be 18 to have an OnlyFan account. Someone needs to report the mother for child pornography if this is true.

You might get accused of having "seen her" online if you report it. Then you get your phones confiscated and arrested.

There's no legality about having to be 18 to have one, that would just be a site requirement not a law, but anyone under 18 certainly cannot promote sexual or nude content. Similar to Youtube.

I know this basically means they’re just calling themselves boyfriend and girlfriend, and they only communicate over text and there are no real dates or physical contact. But, I find it hard to believe many seventh grade boys are really even interested in that level of “dating.” The girls seem way ahead of the boys in this regard.

This truly not something I ever monitored. Like WTAF.

You have no idea what your kid was doing in middle school and had no idea what their friends were doing either? Most people talk to their kids and pay attention.

Sure I talked to my kid. But I worried about my kids, not all the kids. OP is literally asking for enumeration. Like WTAF. Who does that?

Most people in this thread are really naive.

They think kids were more promiscuous back when they were teens and are all incels/femcels and monks now, but that's not the case at all.

Teens might talk about it with each other, hence the memories of all the promiscuity "back in the day" when they were teens themselves, but kids don't and never have really talked about what they were doing with their parents. That's just weird! So many parents block out what they were like when kids, and assume their kids are saints.

Well, that’s the problem. I have almost no information to go on. I don’t want to make an OnlyFans account specifically to wade through a bunch of porn looking for an account where I have no idea what her user name is or if it even exists anymore. That’s not something I want in my browser history.

I can try to find out more from my son. If he can confirm from others she still has an active account, maybe I can follow up with a school counselor. They’re mandated reporters.

I wouldn't do that either. Who knows how crazy that counselor is and they will wonder how you or your son just happened to find something like that.

If you must get involved, just report it to the report button on the OnlyFans site. Surely there is such a button or way. They will deal with illegal stuff post haste as they don't want their money making website shut down.

That seems rather bigoted to just assume the older one involved is the responsible party. Age has nothing to do with maturity and the younger one might have been behind it all. Knew a girl in jr. high school who used to poke holes in her condoms, and entice older guys in high school or college at the skating rink and mall to sleep with her, hoping she'd get pregnant and get to quit school and be a SAHM. She got her wish by 14.

If it’s anything like other sites, you have to go to the specific account to click the button. Which is information I don’t have. You can’t just generically tell them “there’s an underage account”.
