[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think these are harsh responses. This is not typical teen boy behavior. I am around teen boys all the time and I haven't heard a joke about child molestation from any of them.

FWIW, [b]I do not allow the "it's just a joke" response if it's something that isn't a joke. I treat it as though they just said they believe the comment they just said. I take it totally seriously, in other words: they should stand behind a position if they are going to make the statement.[/b] [/quote]

I do this as well with my 15 yo DS.  When I hear him doing, sh!t like that, without emotion, I shut it down.  I note how hurtful it is and then have him take the dog out for a long walk and he is not allowed to listen to music while he walks. It gets him out of the house, boy and dog benefit from the exercise and it annoys him that he must immediately go walk the dog.  If it's related to his little brother/sister, I make the consequence related to him doing something positive for them.

FWIW, I haven't heard anything related to child molestation, rape, murder, etc. [/quote]
