Guest guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hi all - I have been trying to put certain limits on my 13-year-old son's access to various internet sites with only limited success. He has Asperger's Syndrome and ADD but is very bright and high-functioning. He needs to sometimes use the internet for schoolwork, plus he is very gifted musically and likes to record his own compositions and then upload audio and videos to his own little site. HOWEVER, he discovered a channel on YouTube called YouTube Poop. Actually, another Aspie friend who's mom isn't as restrictive as me is the one that introduced my son to the site. It is the worst site you can imagine for an Aspie kid. Lots of videos with short bursts of repetitive phrases, particularly words like poop and penis. So now has become obsessed with those videos. I blocked YouTube completely and found a nice site called Daily Motion where he could watch acceptable videos because it allows me to block certain content. Well, the little genius has figured out how to do an end run around me. If you Google pretty much any YouTube channel - or anything at all really - you can click on a " video " button at the top of the Google search page and it will show you any of the videos it found in the search. Any ideas on how to confront him about this without causing a meltdown? We've been having lots of them lately anyway, as he gets to an age where he wants to test limits. I don't see how I can block this, since it's a Google search page, and he does have legitimate school uses for Google. Thanks for any suggestions.
