[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Anecdotally, my kid has four particular 13-14-year-old friends without a smart kid, and they are DMing my kid messages that include racial slurs, violence against girls, and pornography, sometimes after midnight (my kid has no access to a phone, iPad, or computer after 8 pm).    Sometimes these messages come on a gaming platform.  I’m sure none of your kids would do that, though.  [/quote]

I'm going to say something you won't like. Your kids are not associating with the right people. I have teens and young adults, and when my kids were tweens and young teens, they rapidly distanced themselves from anyone who expressed that sort of nonsense.

There will always be idiots in the world. Why on earth are your children attracted to that type? You need to parent better, instead of posting smugly about the failures of parents.

OP here.  I agree with you, and I think our kid does too, as they were embarrassed by what their friends had sent, and part of our discussion has been about distancing themselves from these friends.   Our kid isn't super popular and doesn't make new friends easily, so this is all hard.  [/quote]
