Original post: https://ift.tt/2n5Dw6g commenters on my previous post were absolutely correct.He had been viewing 4Chan on a friend’s device at school and other material on some school computers.We were close to figuring that out for ourselves when the parents of one of his friends who’d been over that night called because their son had expressed concern to them about my son.They pressed their son for more information and it came out that some of his friends had been screwing around on 4chan with the mindset of “look how ridiculous this is haha wow.” From what I can tell my son didn’t realize his friends weren’t in agreement with it and by the time he did realize he’d already drunk the kool aid.We’re about to enter into a counseling program and a college buddy who’s now a detective is arranging for my son to sit in on a parole introduction as sort of a “scared straight” thing. He said they go over in excruciating detail all the things you can’t do even after you’ve been released from prison for a sex crime and that my son will be able to look around and see the kind of people who commit sex crimes aren’t a l group of manly men to align yourself with.Fortunately/unfortunately his really great group of friends are also distancing themselves from him in light of the things he said (I think the one expressing concern to his parents also set something in motion where most of not all of them were warned to stop their relationships with my son, and if that’s the case, I don’t blame them at all). From what I understand he’d never been so blatant about these views before, so at least it’s not too late on that front.Thanks so much for everyone’s helpful comments and thoughtful DMs, it’s much appreciated. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2pzbFfL
