Need advice! My 11 year old niece has been staying the night for the past few nights. She has this tablet she plays on ALL THE TIME. Well, I guess my boyfriend was playing on it and decided to see what she's been looking up. Turns out, she's been looking up a ton of porn when we go to sleep. What should I do? I'm going to tell my mom since we still live with her but should I tell her parents?
@shay2beautiful well actually it can be a symptom. Ive worked with many psychiatrists specializing in childhood sexual abuse
I started masturbating when I was 11. It is normal. She just needs to know the difference between porn and a normal relationship. It will probably be super embarrassing for her
@taradee17 it's definitely not a symptom of sexual abuse she's 11 and almost in her teen years. I was 11 when I started being curious about porn and sex. Some kids figure things out sooner😒
Thats a symptom of sexual abuse. At such a young age epically being a girl being intrested in those things. Children who are sexually abused it can trigger hormones and desieres like that, sad to say. And yes they shame themselves for having those wants and feelings so dont shame her please. I'm not saying that happened to her but that is a big red flag.
That's about the age I was curious about porn. I would let her parents handle it and I would only tell them cause it's not a family thing it's kinda personal if you plan to confront her try to explain the difference between porn and a healthy relationship as well (not sure what she's looked at) she's entering teen years and you'd rather her safe. Hope it works out
@taradee17 okay cool 😊
