My teenage daughter and her friends where in school drinking hot chocolate, and typed 'hot chocolate' into a search engine without thinking, and where shocked by what appeared on the screen!:o Suffice to say they all got detention:rolleyes:

They shouldn't have got a detention for an innocent search - It would be down to the school for having inadequate filters!! That would make me so mad!!!

Just had a similar situation with DS who's in year 7. Apparently he let a friend have access to his login on the school computer to get some music from Youtube and the friend has abused the trust and brought up some inapproriate videos:o. School are holding my son entirely responsible for this despite it being pointed out that there is a username showing on the youtube screenshots. I've investigate the username and it certainly doesn't appear to be linked to the email account DS would use (he only uses his brother's because he can't remember his password - this has been an on going situation for ages and there is little point in setting up a new email account) and the name is probably too clever for DS to have thought up - he would have used something really obvious:rolleyes: related to a pet or his own name.
I genuinely believe DS to be the innocent party in this situation (he is quite upset about it) - if they had said he was messing about on Runescape I wouldn't have been a bit surprised, but this is a whole new ball game.
School seem to he handling the situation really badly - other kids in the class are well aware of what has gone on - I think they could have excercised some sensitivity here. I'll be speaking to school again tomorrow - apparently they will look into it.
Any ideas on how I should handle it from here?

ETA. I think the other kid knew exactly what he was looking for, it's not something you would stumble on by chance. I have been through the history on my kids' PC and there is certainly nothing along those lines there (they are too lazy to delete the history - it went back months:eek:.)
