I get the mom's point that she is worried for his safet but like, that's way too extreme, lol. Teens are eventually gonna be curious about it and learn about sex. There's nothing wrong with fancying the opposite gender and masturbation as long as the teen doesn't let the whole thing control his mind thus affecting his daily life if that makes any sense.
Nothing to do with safety, she wants a payout
It's that second part that becomes an issue. The whole point of childhood is that you're not fully responsible for your own decisions. And the internet is very weird and bad about sex. Perhaps even moreso than it is weird and bad about everything else.
Wow safety... She must've put some effort into a web filter or something yeah? No? Shes just a dumb lazy Karen?
