I'm pretty sure my 13 year son has been chatting with a predator in a teenagers gaming chat room. Some of the things I just read were very disturbing. When this person asked certain things and made certain comments, it freaked my son out. He brought his phone to me to read the messages I freaked out. I will not comment on my initial thoughts of what I would do to this person.
Moral/legal/parental advice needed.
I have enough to call the police.
I could just block my son from these gaming community chat rooms.
I could block this other user and have my son create a new user name.
My issue is, if I call police it will put my son through some very disturbing questioning. He is 13 and has asbergers.
I really want to lock him in his bedroom with no Internet for 20 years and go have a chat with the other person. But I know me and my temper when it comes to my family.
So, please give me some advice, moral and legal
Update....
Reported to local sheriff office. They have my sons phone as evidence for now. Detective has already called me. He wants to touch base after new years. I'm good. Thanks for the help everyone. Especially the help from Slidell and covington. Son is finally in bed asleep. Has a brand new 10/22 waiting on him. I found out tonight he is smarter and braver than I knew. I was upset cause I couldn't protect him from this. He gave me a big hug and told me it wasn't my fault. And then said "See, I told you I listen to you even when you think I dont"
They caught the guy. 71 year old man in holden. Had pics of my son from facebook. Had our old address and my sons cell number. Detective said we would not have to go to court. It's a done deal. Ponchatoula sheriff office is awesome.
