As a parent, I don't think you have the right to sit his friend down and talk to him about this. It's not your place without the consent of his parent's first. As good as your intentions are, I feel it's not your place to do so with this kid. With your son, yes.

I think, telling the friend that you do not condone this type of behavior is well within your rights, but anything more than that-that's his parent's job and their rights.

As a parent, I think I would ask my child what the draw is? Is this just curiosity? Even girls go through that type of stage. Especially via the comp. Most often than not it's just curiosity of the human body, something they don't very easily get to "check out" in person.

I don't condone that type of behavior either, and I have explained this with my daughter in her teens (I found out some of the kids were looking at stuff I didn't think they should either). I put the ka-bosh to it on my comp!!! I had a nice, open, nonjudgemental heart-to-heart with my daughter about it all too (along with the legalities of being an underage viewer).

To them it was more the curiosity factor, and it ended once they were caught.

G'luck with this (((phaps)))
