Didn't say it was.

We're talking about a grown man showing his own pre teenage son and unrelated teenage boys hard !!!!!! and "images of hacked up bodies and people hanging", also "encouraging one of the boys (15) to have sex with girls" and that's on top of some exceedingly worrying "jokes".
If you think that's normal, you're one sick puppy!
No, what we're talking about is someone using buzzwords to extract a supportive reaction from strangers on the internet after the authorities failed to reach the same conclusion.
People hanging and body parts - look at any news channel on any given day.
15 year olds having sex? Oh wow....
And jokes, jokes which we don't know what they actually said. What we do know is the police obviously didn't think it was serious.0 -

And other than running to Police/Social Services who obviously don't think it's as much of an issue as you do what are YOU actually doing about it ? So far a whole load of anti-men stuff but as suggested earlier grow a pair and sit down face to face with the father and the son you both created to deal with it. If you can't do that then you come out of this as uncaring for your son as you claim your (ex) husband to be.
There are some problems that others can't sort out for you and this appears to be one of them0 -

The police aren't bothered about burglaries either - doesn't mean that they aren't serious.
In the OP's position I'd be making sure her ex didn't have unsupervised access to her son and I'd be warning the other teenagers' families as well.0 -
The police and social services will be having that discussion with him.0

But she'll still allow him access to Facebook despite him not fulfilling T&C's -
If she wants full control of son then either stay with father and raise him together or approach this officially through the courts
All that todays outburst (and your sexist support of it) shows is an inability to engage and talk about this in a grown up way without 'running to teacher'
There's no winner in this 'game' but the serious risk of a kid !!!!ed up by a weak/controlling Mother and rebellious/immature Father0 -

Will they? Or did they tell you that so you'd leave them alone.
The fact is that 'words of advice' is the equivalent of what you get here on this forum, nice but no legal standing...0 -

What a load of rubbish of course they're bothered about it. It's hard to investigate, but if you had the name and address of the person, along with a load of evidence, they'd be round there. Which is what the OP has...
Yes well there are ways to describe people who use children as a weapon...0 -

It is an adult, showing hardcore pornography and other unpleasant images to a pre-teen and some teenage friends, away from other adult eyes.
This absolutely should be reported to Social Services (as it was), who will consider (as they did) if something should be done.
They didn't decide this was a complete over-reaction and the OP should shut up as you imply, but took it to the police. The police decided that this falls slightly short of criminality, but still warrants a discussion with the adult in question.
Stop trying to make out this is normal behaviour, it isn't!Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?
