My DS accidentally saw a disturbing image online

Even as a typing error it doesn't make sense.

He likes mint candy. He's 11.

LOL. OP you are so THAT mom.

I bet you excused your son's bratty behavior when he was 8 by saying he was "tired" or "teething".

I bet when he was 2 and ruined grandpa's plants and he scolded him you cut the grandparents off for making your sweet little guy feel bad.

Your kid is a liar and the only way you are going to be able to properly deal with this situation is if you stop coddling him and accepting his lies.

Wow....there is something extremely wrong with you. As if it matters, I'll explain exactly what happened so you can grasp that not every kid who comes across an inappropriate image on the internet is some kind of lying deviant.

His brother saw a shiny packet on the counter. I had just opened it to add some sliced almonds to the green beans we were having for dinner. Younger brother said, "oh, is that jr mints?" DS, who frankly would rather google mints than do math, said "I love jr mints" and clumsily fast-typed MINTS TS into google. Yes, he clicked the first link in the list. Why, I don't know. It was first. That's when he saw the image of someone who looks female but had an erect penis. It scared the shit out of him. HE DID NOT NEED TO SEE THAT to understand about transexualism. He is not a liar. He did not sneakily google something he heard on the bus. It was a random accident and I am sad for my kid. Your comments are weird and say a lot more about you than me. I feel bad for your kids.

I believe you, Op. All he had to do was type the word MINTS with an extra TS at the end and up pops that image. The kid made a typo MINTSTS. Maybe he typed MINTSTSTSTS by mistake and deleted the middle TS's and inadvertently left the last TS there.....MINTS TS. It's really not that hard to see how this could have happened.

The point is that a kid can google something pretty tame and wind up seeing something completely inappropriate.

No...that image just does not "pop up." You have to click ANOTHER link to get to that image. That's what people are trying to say. He had to intentionally click the link to see the image.

Read what I wrote. He did click the link. It was the first one in the list.

That's just it that's not the first link that comes up unless someone has previously searched for Thai ladyboys named mint.

I'm a 50+ year old married wife and mother. Why would I be searching for Thai ladyboys on my computer? There is ZERO history of those kinds of searches I can guarantee you that.

You don't your husband or your kids have Doesn't have to be on the exact computer, could be on your phone if you have linked accounts.

Then I would have noticed this well before now, wouldn't I? There was something about that particular search which brought up a porn link. I sure as hell hope that this hasn't started something with my computer. Good grief.

This is the OP. I am also a late 40's married wife and mother. I'm not searching Thai ladyboys. Neither is my DH. Or my kids. This is not an episode of Perry Mason. If the link can randomly come up for me and it can randomly come up for someone else. What anyone has searched on their computer is not the point. The point is that my kid was exposed to crap on the internet he shouldn't have been and it was no ones fault except the world we live in. Well, maybe I'll blame Al Gore. I am sad for my kid and I was looking for some advice as to how to help him understand what he saw at an age too young to really understand something so overtly sexual. Why this turned into some attack on me and my possible googling habits, I don't know.

^And FWIW my 82 year old mother has had something like this happen to her at random, out of the blue times. Her computer is not connected to mine in any way and she lives in a totally different town.

I have also heard of these unwanted things popping up for other people, too.

I know that this is not coming from me or anyone else in my house. Oddly enough, if I google it now that link no longer pops up.

I don't. But it would make sense that other porn sites would pop up for me if I googled other innocuous things. That never happens....until now.

It was the first google hit for me.

I think OP is a spammer.

Nope. I am the PP. I typed MINT TS into my phone and it was the first hit. I typed it in all caps per OP's post. If you type "mint ts" it does not come up.

Right...I am thinking that some of the PPs and whoever uses OP's computer must often search for porn for that algorithm to kick in. That image is visible when you click on the link for a fetish porn site that specializes in these types of people.

Do none of you adults ever watch porn on your computers? Liars.

No one in my house does. We have real sex lives, so we don't need fake ones.

Well aren't you something?
My husband and I enjoy porn together. Our sex life are as real as it gets.
But just continue thinking you're so special.

Op, he's 11. His reaction to that picture indicates that he is really not ready to learn about sex fetishes. It is enough to tell him that there are adults out there who post extremely inappropriate pictures of themselves on the internet doing things that kids should not be looking at. It's called porn and he needs to be very careful on what links he clicks on from here on out.

I don't get the weeping. From movies etc., I've known since around 10 years old, men dress like women. I've also been to museums by that age and seen naked people in national geographic. At 12 and 13 I was buying teen beat and tiger beat magazines at the convenience store where playboy/girl was also sold, even though it was sealed in plastic, I knew what was in those magazines. None of this made me weep.

Yeah I typed it exactly as she said and none of that came up only stuff about candy and plants. The porn stuff only came up after I googled Thai porn mint after that when I googled pet op it appeared. Sure it could have appeared randomly what’s more plausible is that someone maybe even the boy was googling porn or someone sent it to him.

You are seriously comparing National Geographic to the Thai Boylady? lol

Have you even seen the image that we're discussing?

[Anonymous]

FWIW, I literally cannot get that image to come up even if I add more explicit terms to my search, so I do think something strange is up w/ your google algorithm if you've honestly never googled porn.

Maybe you have a different kind of anti porn device on your computer? Or whatever it's called.
