The 14 year old’s mother left an old laptop in a closet and now alleges it’s adult sites’ problem that he watched porn.

A Kansas mother who left an old laptop in a closet is suing multiple porn sites because her teenage son visited them on that computer.

The complaints, filed last week in the U.S. District Court for Kansas, allege that the teen had “unfettered access” to a variety of adult streaming sites, and accuses the sites of providing inadequate age verification as required by Kansas law.

A press release from the National Center for Sexual Exploitation, which is acting as co-counsel in this lawsuit, names Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Techpump Solutions (Superporn.com), and Titan Websites (Hentai City) as defendants in four different lawsuits.

    Guns are way more dangerous though. A 14 year old watching some porn is hardly life ruining. How many 14 year olds haven’t watched porn? If they’ve got access to the Internet they’re going to find it.

    Its much better to actually properly teach your kids about sex and porn so that it doesn’t fuck them up, than to try and protect them by restricting access to it.

        I’m not sure how the websites could even be responsible. What can they do other than go “are you old enough to access this website”.

        The only other option would be for the government to implement some kind of ID system (not that I’m advocating for that you understand), but that would be the government’s responsibility not the individual websites.

      There is a lot of harm that can come from children using the internet

      Look at Roblox or other pedophile chatrooms as an example

        Yeah but he was looking at porn which is positively wholesome compared to Roblox.

          Given everything I’ve learned about Roblox over the years, if I had a kid I’d much rather find them watching Chaturbate than playing Roblox. To my knowledge, nobody has ever tried to kidnap, rape, or kill a child, or anyone for that matter, for watching Chaturbate.
