Soon to Be Foster Parent For 15yr old Boy

[Replies: 1]
Well i never thought i would ask for suggestions but, yes i have not been 15 in a very long time and my generation was much different then this new and not so improved one.

Me and my partner are getting foster care of a 15yr old boy that is a gay teenager and he is a bit rebellious sometimes and also he likes "being" on websites that are not so teen friendly i guess you can say (adults only). and also the half naked photos on cell phones type of thing.

So i was doing some research online and i guess its not against the law for them to post shirtless photos of themselves on the internet right? As for me second i seen him post that on a site i told him he needs to remove that image as soon as possible when he comes over to the house again and uses our PC since he said he cannot do much stuff on his cell phone when it come to removing things.

Now since we are not his parents yet how do we prevent him from going to these adult websites without having to do a breach of privacy and install a keylogger and for me having to block a million websites via the router (web geek) i just do not feel like blocking half the internet. Since mentally i cannot just feel "happy" about it since i know if he cannot access them here he will just go someplace else and do it instead on a internet cafe type of computer or public place type of computer.

Now as for being rebellious (fun times) i must admit enough to stress out the most calm person on the planet possibly mostly nothing to major except not returning back to the place he needs to be at by a certain time and also as well he hates school and also he thinks he is a adult i really hope this is just a 15yr old stage and something that is not characteristic that is branded into him.

I mean I'm 13 and I post shirtless photos of myself all the time. Lmao but if your gay son is going on adult websites and chatting with them than maybe he is feeling desperate? I mean since it is real freakin rare for someome to be homosexual... LMAO but umm I mean you've got to talk to him you know and make him feel welcome. But don't be too hard on him, because if you do it might resolve in a suicide manner. Take it slow you bro and just tell him to wait because you dont wanna have someone whos 20 years older than you... Lol but I don't really know. He might just change to like girls just take it easy and maybe get him a therapist or sOmething later on. Not now because than it won't work out so well...
