I found things on my sons iPad? - me - 01-16-2013 09:16 AM
I'm 33, a currently single dad, with 2 sons.
I took my 14 year old iPad off him for his behaviour and I was on it looking threw his apps and I went on an app called omegle wich seems to be a chat room and found that he had been talking to other boys about somthing called kik so was curious and found it and it seemed to be a bit like twitter or Facebook but he had been saying shots of sexual things and looking threw all the chats I found that they where sending naked pictures of eachother and eventually exchanging Skype addresses. I'm realy worried. I don't care at all if he is homosexual but I'm worried that he might arrange to meet up with someone or get involved with a pedofiles. (the boys are the same age)

Talk to him about it. Don't get mad with him when you do talk to him.

Why post this on here ? You should be having a serious chat with your son and dealing with it.
Surely you know what you have to do next ? Get talking with him fast.

Yup. Talk to your son about it. hire a counselor..but u may have to accept that he's gay -_-
yea.. don't let your son meet other boys..they mite be old men. =.=

Talk to him, don't try and embarrass him, just talk to him
Don't tell anybody else unless he allows you to nd make him aware of the danger he could be putting himself in!

Omegle is usually a chat room, aimed at young girls/boys. Most of these "people" are or over 18, but some aren't... such as your son. Sometimes there are sexual references involved, and it's not that surprising to stream naked videos of yourself through webcams. However, what your son is doing, if any, is very disturbing. If the opposite side recorded the contents, your son could become the victim of child pornography. I would advice you to confront your son directly, not with concerns of homosexuality, but rather with the former issues.

Tell him all you are telling us and discuss it. Those other people could be anyone looking at your son naked, he might not realise but that could have an effect later in life if the pics resurface. Its scary to think kids are still this nieve especially when they are so smart and on the ball regards the online world.
It just needs discussing and explaining and in fact i think you are probably a great dad and the fact you wouldnt be bothered if he was gay is something you should tell him.
Itll be embarrassing initially but once its all been said it should be good for you both
Honestly as a single dad i tip my hat. Not easy well done

Ok well, talk to him, explain that your feeling worried tell him that your only being like this because he is your son, and you would hate it if something happened to him because of this!
Hope I helped!?? :/

First off, I think your son is gay. Secondly, I think he has had Skype sex. Third, you might want to wash his sheets.
What I would do is get these Skype addresses, call them and talk to them about it. Not your son. Cause he's gonna do other things later on that are worse than this.
PS- Kik is an app where you can message people from anywhere in the world (Usually used by people who are horny and want pictures of naughty things.)
