The 14 year old’s mother left an old laptop in a closet and now alleges it’s adult sites’ problem that he watched porn.
A Kansas mother who left an old laptop in a closet is suing multiple porn sites because her teenage son visited them on that computer.
The complaints, filed last week in the U.S. District Court for Kansas, allege that the teen had “unfettered access” to a variety of adult streaming sites, and accuses the sites of providing inadequate age verification as required by Kansas law.
A press release from the National Center for Sexual Exploitation, which is acting as co-counsel in this lawsuit, names Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Techpump Solutions (Superporn.com), and Titan Websites (Hentai City) as defendants in four different lawsuits.
One hates having to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but since the Cheeto government is working hard on prohibiting porn, one wonders about the timing for this. One wonders if this is just another paid asshole who happily uses their family to lie and cheat to get anti porn laws to pass
Sort of a perversion of Public Interest Law.
Conservative political interests have become well-versed in the strategy of promoting and funding cases that can provoke rulings to achieve legislative consequences at the court level. Citizens United, Janus v. AFSCME, and Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization being classic recent examples.
Very possible we’ll see a “Porn is de facto illegal” court case inside the next four years.
We’ll watch it fail. That’s for sure. Just look at the case against Larry Flynt and Hustler magazine from a few decades ago. This isn’t the first time they’ve tried this shit. They lost miserably last time.

That was under a very different composition of judges.
This isn’t the first time they’ve tried this shit. They lost miserably last time.
The Larry Flynt case was notable because it was a significant change in the federal standard. Historically, the puritan anti-sex sentiment has been actively enforced within US law.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_obscenity_law#Legal_issues_and_definitions
The sale and distribution of obscene materials had been prohibited in most American states since the early 19th century, and by federal law since 1873. Adoption of obscenity laws in the United States at the federal level in 1873 was largely due to the efforts of Anthony Comstock, who created and led the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. Comstock’s intense efforts led to the passage of an anti-obscenity statute known as the Comstock Act which made it a crime to distribute “obscene” material through the post.
Anti-obscenity laws endured for nearly a century prior to Miller. And the current government seems to be fixated on a return to that Old Thyme Religion.
They are also still protected by the 1st amendment as far as I am aware.
They’re protected by court precedent citing the 1st amendment. Any five judges can change that, assuming they don’t simply wave through a decision from the circuit courts that amount to the same.
that’s effectively the same thing in the eyes of the court until something changes
SCOTUS bait to progress Project 2025
“I don’t know how to parent so I’m suing other people”
Use Arch. By the time the WiFi drivers are compiled, the boy would have transitioned to femboy.
/s
Yeah… this 100% is just about trying to make some cash.
If only there was a person that’s supposed to care for and watch over this kid.
Uncle Sam, right?
/s
Nope, this child is already born, should have stayed in the womb, that ungrate.
SOCIALISM REEEEEE
Oh son, what are you doing there…?
/scnr
Laptops are like guns. If you leave them unsecured, you are responsible if your kid gets a hold of them. Who even has a laptop without a password these days.
Guns are way more dangerous though. A 14 year old watching some porn is hardly life ruining. How many 14 year olds haven’t watched porn? If they’ve got access to the Internet they’re going to find it.
Its much better to actually properly teach your kids about sex and porn so that it doesn’t fuck them up, than to try and protect them by restricting access to it.
It was like 75% joke. The other 25% was saying the parent is responsible, not the websites.
I’m not sure how the websites could even be responsible. What can they do other than go “are you old enough to access this website”.
The only other option would be for the government to implement some kind of ID system (not that I’m advocating for that you understand), but that would be the government’s responsibility not the individual websites.
There is a lot of harm that can come from children using the internet
Look at Roblox or other pedophile chatrooms as an example
Yeah but he was looking at porn which is positively wholesome compared to Roblox.
Given everything I’ve learned about Roblox over the years, if I had a kid I’d much rather find them watching Chaturbate than playing Roblox. To my knowledge, nobody has ever tried to kidnap, rape, or kill a child, or anyone for that matter, for watching Chaturbate.
Yeah wholesome safe porn for the viewer
My laptop is set up to unlock automatically if it’s on my Wi-Fi network. But if I take it out of the house and try and access it then I do have to use either a password or my fingerprint.
Imagine watching porn like everybody else and now your mom sues multiple billion dollar porn companies and everyone around you will know about her idea to do so…
At the schoolyard:
So my mom commented on my tiktok dance, cringe!
You think that’s cringe, I borrowed the laptop and now my mom is suing a bunch of porn companies.
When I was in 5th grade my mom tried to have a teacher fired for something and I was teased about it every day until I went to high school in a different town years later. This poor kid will never hear the end of it.
high school in the early 90’s. (trade school, granted) was great. doom on pcs after school with big 80’s era speakers echoing the shots in the halls. teachers who let us experiment. (electronics was my trade) with things like booze and “what happens if we fill every outlet with 12v electrolytic caps and turn the power back on?”
learned a lot from that guy.
he died early 2000’s from alcoholism. sigh.
“As you can see from these logs, my son viewed ChixWithDix_69 three times on Tuesday, once on Wednesday and two more times on Thursday, and I can see from my smart home lightbulb logs from the bathroom that he viewed them to completion.”
These are boiler plate lawsuits by the religious right. No rational person would blame the porn sites for being a shit parent.
Nothing is the parent’s fault. Blame the teachers. Blame the neighbors. Blame the corporations. Blame everyone but yourselves.
Remember when people took ownership of their responsibilities?
This generation of iPad-parenting is getting out of control. What do parents do nowadays anyway?
Remember when people took ownership of their responsibilities?
When was that, again?
Only when it suits them.
When you try to do good things for kids, like free school lunches and sex education, then it’s all about “hurr durr it’s the parents’ responsibility”
“That is fantastic”. How are these fucking idiots still falling for these traitors to the poeple?
Edit. I know it’s an old video, but it shows that they never even fucking tried to hide how much they hate the working class, and only view them as slavelabour.
I can’t believe current politics are making us forget what a shit stain dubya was.
As a parent, this trend in offloading all parental responsibilities onto the people around us is infuriating. Guns, cars, drugs, porn, why is any of this an issue, just fucking parent.
Try being a teacher. I’m now a surrogate parent.
My mom was a teacher. I have an entire extended family of surrogate siblings.
Oof. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for your service.
As a non parent, I agree.
As a cat parent, I agree.
Pics or stfu!
I’ll start
Oh yeah? Well, here’s an extra cute pose just for you, cat-haver police!
He is Toby and he… Err… Loves sleeping belly up 🤷♂️
Fuck that cute, not so little shit!
It’s been a thing since forever, too. People like this have been hounding TV and radio stations about their content since the very start. And that’s with FCC censorship in play, too.
It’s all related isn’t it? People are too busy and tired to parent, but society pushes/shames them into having kids. So the result is people having kids and pushing society to parent them, then getting upset that this kind of parenting doesn’t work.

Its not entirely new.
in the 80s parents wanted to offload parenting onto the TV.
in the 90s parents wanted to offload parenting onto teachers and babysitters.
aughts parents wanted to offload parenting onto computers and video games.
now parents want to offload parenting onto cellphones and tablets. Cant tell you how many kids, even super young kids, I see with their faces absolutely glued to a cellphone or tablet. Even in my own family. Kids as young as 5 had their own smart phones, with completely unsupervised use.
and the one common thread in all of that, is how the parents never take responsibility for the damage their unparented, unsupervised children do or suffer.
Its always everyone elses fault. Its never mommy and daddy, who cant be bothered to give little Timmy even 5 minutes of their day, who is at fault.
I just don’t understand why people have or keep their kids if they hate them and don’t want to be bothered by them. It’d be less traumatic for a child to be given up for adoption and end up with a loving family, than to be raised by these types of people.
All while the same time they cry about parental rights.
Yeah, that’s usually their “right” as a parent to enforce what does / doesn’t get taught in their school.
And their right as a parent always supersedes your right as a parent I’ve noticed.

Folks are down voting you because you are stating inane bullshit that doesn’t pertain to anything anyone is talking about. Also bringing up Jill Biden for some fucking reason when she also has nothing to do with anything.
Piss off in the desert and use drugs cut with turpentine with the rest of the gormless hippies.
Fuck yeah! Love this!
Man imagine having your goon receipts be public court record at 14.
Also the National Center on Sexual Exploitation is exactly what you’d expect: a bunch of Catholic loons trying to legislate their moral dysfunction upon the country.
I’d genuinely die if the amount of times I got off to femboys while pretending to be straight got out when I was 14 .
The more I think about it the less funny it is.
A particularly vulnerable teen would consider suicide, from the bullying if not the embarrassment.
Only 30 times? As a former teenage boy, bullshit.
I would have sued the laptop manufacturer for making a device that doesn’t have adequate parental controls.
If that doesn’t work I’m suing the person that made the table they put the laptop on for not providing a failsafe to where you can’t put a laptop that can access porn sites.
They should just countersue for poor parenting, she should have regulated her son’s access to the internet
So if it weren’t a web site… would she be able to sue 7-11 if the kid found a playboy someone else in her house bought?
Could she sue them if the employee was doing their duty, but a kid broke 7-11’s rule, snuck around and stole one?
The site was illegally breached (accessed in violation of their terms) and the kid accessed content not appropriate for them.
How is the site liable? Doesn’t dmca precedent here say the kid is at fault for bypassing access controls?
She should have used parental controls or I dunno, maybe password protected that laptop? Oh no, don’t blame the parent! It’s always someone else’s fault!!!
Her logic is, “I was a bad neglectful parent so now you must pay.” Nonsense.
Who shit myself
We laugh, but that mom is the kind of person that wholeheartedly supports the ‘You must provide proof of age to access adult sites’ laws that’re poised to ruin the internet.
And all because she’s too lazy and / or too incompetent to properly parent her child. If you really think something is dangerous for your kid, you’re the number one person responsible to keep them away from it.
How could it be my fault my kid got hit by a car? The government built the street in front of my house!
I consider that analogy somewhat different. Being able to leave your home to travel safely is a basic human right. Cars on roads are inherently dangerous, even if you try to be defensive as a pedestrian. You can be sitting in your grassy front yard and vehicles can come crashing in to kill you. That happens on a regular basis in the US. You can be walking on the sidewalk and have a car run you down. The vision of kids running into the street to be hit isn’t the only risk, merely existing is. Hell, there’s plenty of people killed in their home by cars crashing into their houses!
Car crashes are the #2 reason for children’s deaths in the US (#1 is now guns, it was cars until about 3 years ago). It’s the #3 reason for adults to die after heart disease and cancer. Those stats are actually low balling it because we’re finding the noise and pollution from cars jacks up many of the other categories (including heart disease, cancer, dementia). Living by car roads is just inherently dangerous, regardless of how you try to teach your kids to avoid being run down in their own neighborhood.
The government building car only infrastructure, I feel, is an immoral and murderous act against the public. It’s categorically different from the parental preference of whether your 14 year old manages to see some porn using a computer you bought on an Internet connection you installed.
The government building car only infrastructure, I feel, is an immoral and murderous act against the public.
It ought to be considered malpractice on the part of the civil engineers.
The government should be paying millions of dollars to the family every time someone dies of car.
Or because a lawyer approached her about it…
laughing at her, not with her.
I believe lawsuits like this are purposefully manufactured to try and elevate this narrative. She certainly wants the world to operate like what you bring up. The more stories like this pop-up, the more conservative parents will be scared and push for legislation.
