I have reason to believe that my 16 y.o. son is looking at porn on his laptop. However, he knows how to go to the history tool bar and delete his browsing history. Is there another way that I can look at the browsing history?

There were a few years when I couldn't appeal to my son's better angels, and thwarting my wishes and winning the approval of his peers was his reason to live.

You can either take the laptop or let him pass through the period where he does what he must. Nothing you do will decide if he is to be a lifelong porn addict. I dare say that the question is already decided regardless of what you do now.

If you tell him that he's on his own and he will suffer the consequences and stop verbalizing your concern for him, after an initial period of celebration he may begin to worry about what unseen hazards befall him, especially without your guidance and concern. Nothing will drive the point home more than when his peers inevitably pile up on the rocks. And it may be that nothing you say will alert him to the dangers before that happens and opens his eyes. If your son is smart enough to grasp the abstract then you may explain it once-the objectification of women in porn can destroy a young man's ability to ever bond and love someone, and if that happens he will forfeit one of life's greatest gifts. No woman he could ever love would want to spend her wedding night spinning in a Chinese basket job. And if he ruins his young soul he may have to pay a Filipino hooker with 10,000 satisfied customers to fulfill his needs.

If he's at the point where he knows everything then this means that you cannot protect him from certain dangers that he does not yet recognize. And, if he's operating a motor vehicle then you should really be concerned.

In my state broken hearted parents and kids erect roadside memorials at each location where carloads of kids have died. These ominous monuments carry more weight than all the lectures I've ever given. Some kids will still make the same old mistakes just as some parents will buy cars and pay the insurance for kids who are clearly not mature enough for the responsibility. I could only hope that my son was among the fraction of those who saw the signs and flowers and got the message. He'll be 25 next month and out of the statistical danger zone.

That was an excellent post, Dawg.
