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.
Laptops are like guns. If you leave them unsecured, you are responsible if your kid gets a hold of them. Who even has a laptop without a password these days.
I would have sued the laptop manufacturer for making a device that doesn’t have adequate parental controls.
If that doesn’t work I’m suing the person that made the table they put the laptop on for not providing a failsafe to where you can’t put a laptop that can access porn sites.
Nothing is the parent’s fault. Blame the teachers. Blame the neighbors. Blame the corporations. Blame everyone but yourselves.
Remember when people took ownership of their responsibilities?
This generation of iPad-parenting is getting out of control. What do parents do nowadays anyway?
A this an actual law suit by an actual person? Isn’t the person named Jane doe or something?
So if it weren’t a web site… would she be able to sue 7-11 if the kid found a playboy someone else in her house bought?
Could she sue them if the employee was doing their duty, but a kid broke 7-11’s rule, snuck around and stole one?
The site was illegally breached (accessed in violation of their terms) and the kid accessed content not appropriate for them.
How is the site liable? Doesn’t dmca precedent here say the kid is at fault for bypassing access controls?
She should have used parental controls or I dunno, maybe password protected that laptop? Oh no, don’t blame the parent! It’s always someone else’s fault!!!
30 times… those are ROKKIE numbers!
Man imagine having your goon receipts be public court record at 14.
Also the National Center on Sexual Exploitation is exactly what you’d expect: a bunch of Catholic loons trying to legislate their moral dysfunction upon the country.
Her logic is, “I was a bad neglectful parent so now you must pay.” Nonsense.
The right wings infatuation with the government needing to parent for them. Tucker opening to an audience with “Daddy’s coming home” and talking about how the left thinks of the government as being the nanny state (how much protection??)
Eminem had it right, “shouldn’t you have been watching him? Apparently you ain’t parents”
It’s always projection.
Maybe they can countersue for her negligence in leaving the laptop unsecured…
Let’s not get it twisted. If he was just watching videos on RedTube or something, I don’t think that would have been a huge issue. But what you don’t want is a minor in a chat app actively talking to groomers and what not. I feel like a lot of you would be way less judgy here if it had been a 14-year-old girl on a porn site with adult men.
No. The models on those sites don’t know the age of the people they’re talking to. It’s just another anonymous user watching or grey username saying stupid shit to them in the main chat. The vast majority of performers will not speak to users privately unless they pay. I don’t give a shit if a 14 year old girl is watching porn. That’s her business.
Don’t change the gender, change the event. Teen shoots self on the foot while playing with parent’s unsecured revolver. Is Smith and Wesson responsible?
Morally? Maybe. Legally? Hardly.
If dems went on that basis to push gun laws Republicans would have a fit. That’s how you know the political attention and support around this event is an hypocritical act. This has nothing to do with protecting children, but all with exerting government control over citizen’s internet activity.
Grooming happens everywhere on the internet, and Kansas laws aren’t aimed at that at all. Xitter, Facebook, tiktok, Snapchat, Instagram are way bigger vectors of child grooming. We’ve known for a decade that social media is the biggest source of CSAM, usually with way less moderation than porn sites. But this isn’t about children, it is about pushing a purinatical agenda to get support for a party to acquire control of free speech online and ultimately squash dissent and independent thinking.
Lol okay let’s equate a computer and gun, this is a hilariously bad argument
Sexual abuse and grooming children are life altering events that put psychological development and life in danger. How are they not on the same level of severity as a gun inflicted wound? You brought up the subject, not me.
So they want us to use our ID card every time we use the Internet now?
The better to track us.
shes the one paying for the isp, and should be monitoring his internet usage. just shut it off at certain times of the day when your not home, or when hes not doing hw.
