[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter, age 14, is chatting a lot and sending explicit photos and videos via discord. The other person is supposedly a 14-year old too but I don’t think I can assume it’s not an adult. I found out because she left her laptop open and I saw the chat. My daughter is very tech savvy and found every way around restrictions. We have taken away her phone but we can’t take away discord. I asked teachers (without mentioning the discord thing) about doing assignments by hand but every little thing requires a one to one device. Oh and grades have gone down the drain since this chatting started. The school laptop is not being used for schoolwork much, apparently.

We’ve talked to our daughter about the dangers of this, etc but she keeps doing it.  I can monitor her screen for maybe two hours a night but not six.

I am just at a loss. I am just so upset and sad that discord is such a danger to my daughter and I can’t keep her away from it. Does online sexu@l exploitation of a minor have to be a part of my child’s education?

Anyway, advice? [/quote]

Seems odd to me that this sounds more focused on getting the IT people to solve your problem rather than dealing with your daughter. Aren't there any other punishments you can enforce?  Why don't you want to deal more directly with her, or does it just sound that way here?  [/quote]

I’m happy to do that and if anyone has ideas I’m all ears. I’ve taken away all other devices, had a lot of conversations, spend hours monitoring the screen when she’s at home, I take away the laptop at night, etc. [/quote]

Take away all electronics unless she is being monitored.  Give her a dumb phone.  That's where I"d start.[/quote]

We are past that. She doesn’t have a phone at all now and even if I didn’t let her do homework at all at home she can still use discord st school. [/quote]
