[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting though - I Googled it and the image did not just appear or pop up.  I would have had to click another link to get to the image (I did not click it). So DS clinked another link to get to the image?[/quote]

It isn't clear that the link would bring up a picture of....that...though.  He may have been googling mints, he may have been googling something a prankster friend told him to look up on the bus.  Whatever.

It does not sound as though the kid expected to see that image and it seems pretty clear that the image frightened him.  I can actually see how an unexpected picture like that could scare a kid.

Give the kid and Op a break.  [/quote]

It does matter.  Because it wouldn't have come up if he was just googling , mintts,mintt s, mint s, mint candy or mints he had to google specifically for that thing.  It's a good thing he had the crap scared out of him because he had no business looking  that up, and OP needs to ignore the crocodile tears and have a serious talk with her son about what's appropriate use  of the internet for him, how to deal with the questions he has, and how to deal with peer pressure for him to look up inappropriate things.
