My son (in year 5) told me that one of the boys in his class told him that he watches videos on a website called Porn HD. He has told my son things that men do to women, I know that my son now knows about oral sex on a woman. This child apparently has also said some gross things to kids in the kindergarten classes i.e. do you give your mum oral.
I've been tossing up all day whether to contact the school principle and discuss this or just the school teacher.
I'm just wanting to know others thoughts on 1) this childs behaviour, the fact his mother doesn't know he's on these websites and
2) should I contact the school?
Many thanks for your time

Absolutely I would contact the school!
You contact the school and let the school handle it unless you are best friends with the mother or something.
If the child is in your sons class then tell the class teacher, if not tell the principle.
I've contacted the principal and they have a child protection officer and he will liaise with them and discuss the next steps. Thanks for the input, I'm concerned about why he was on there and how he found it. Hopefully its just curiosity and nothing more.
You did the right thing often these kids have already concerned teachers and they need more evidence to be able to investigate further ! Exposing children to porn too early and often can be considered abuse - kids that have watched it a lot often also suffer from neglect or sexual abuse or both xo
One big thumbs up to you for having the kind of relationship with your son that meant he could tell you about it safely and confidently xox :)
Yes call the school talk to whoever is available and get him stopped today asap. The school will take it seriously and handle it carefully.
Id be contacting the school and also sitting down and talking to your son about sex and relationships and respecting women.
Absolutely contact the school. I would say there's a high chance he is being abused at home.
Yes, absolutely tell the school. I'm a teacher and the school definitely needs to know this. You could approach the teacher first, who would then discuss with higher level leadership. This could also require mandated reporting on the school's behalf so definitely voice your concerns.
