So a while back my 11 year old nephew begged me to let him have an old Android device I had lying around. And being the super cool uncle that I was I let him have it. Few weeks later he came begging for a SIM card and instructions on how to connect to the internet. I have quite a few Orange SIM cards, and most I got for free, so I gave him one and helped him get online.
A couple or so months passed.
Yesterday the kid came back asking for movies, cartoons, and whatever. There I was trying to sync videos to his device but it seemed the entire 8GB of space on the device had been exhausted. Everyone knows videos are space hogs, right? So I check his video library and what do I find? About a third of the porn on the internet downloaded on there in shitty lowres videos.
I turned to him like “WTF is this?” He got all red-faced and mute. I checked his browser history and the kid had been browsing nothing but xnxx and xvideos --every day at 6am. Apparently, he got some offer on Orange that gives him free internet in the morning. Just awesome.
I took out my SIM card, reset the device, gave it back to him and told him to GTFO. I don’t know how to punish kids. And now am thinking about calling my big bro and telling him that I turned his son into a porn addict. I’m not married to that idea yet; still weighing the pros and cons.
I’m worried that now that he’s been introduced to and likes adult videos he’ll always be searching for them, either online or from his perverted, shitty friends. And since I am no longer super cool he’s going to try to get another SIM from somewhere else and I can’t stop him. Sigh.
hapo you are in a very difficult situation. but you should not have told him to GTFO, ungemkalisha chini and have a civil conversation after taking the gadget.Now he will withdraw from you and any adults and be getting his fix chini ya maji. You should have left the communication channels open
what a @TerribleWaste of innocence Kijana amemaliza theory Sasa ataanza practical but you are not alone parents all over are complaining about WhatsApp , chatting till late at night, midnight phonecalls, whole day at cyber cafes .
Its a guilty feeling right? You deserve it for giving the kid your phone and didn’t bother to tell your brother aka his father. Why do you think they never bought the kif a phone in the first place?
Talk to your brother, now! And come clean and both of you reprimand and take the boy for counseling.
Porn addiction at his age is a real disaster, coz sooner or later when the hormones start to rage during the teenage years, you might be dealing with a serial rapist or worse.
And guess what, he will blame YOU for letting him take the path!
@Ice_Cube is right , you should have talked to the kid uncle cool and not pulled the gtfo stunt coz teenage is knocking , now that chance was just a @TerribleWaste.
Wrong. When you find a kid doing something wrong, do you wait for the parents to come offer punishment? You are the representation of authority to the kid when your bro isn’t karibu. Chukua simu.
