Help with friend ASAPL

[wlage]

Hey guys,
I guess this explanation starts about a month ago when my 2 friends and I were talking about porn and my friend who I will call "A" said that he had a porn cache I a hollowed out rock in his room. Naturally, friend "B" and I just had to find out what was on that flash drive. *And so over the course of the last month, B and I have been trying to get a hold of the flash-drive. *Well today I finally got it and discovered a plethora of pictures of gay hentai, young boys with flaccid uncut dicks, little girls doing photo shoots nude, and many other surprising images, stories, and videos.

My question is, Should I confront him?(I am not trying to make things happen or experiment, I only want to TALK to him about all of it.)
Should I?
Thanks!

I would say something to him about it, maybe point out legal points to him because of the ages of the children. Tell him your not judging him just that you want to help him

I think that its best that you confront him about it but make sure that you do not make him uncomfortable while doing so. Keep your conversation as casual as possible, and only try to be serious in some points of the conversation like talking about the 'little girls' and any other 'surprising images and videos' that you think needs a more serious level of talking and understanding between you both.

Talking to him about it does not mean that you totally disprove him of watching pornography or having his 'alone time' spent on those type of media--it just shows that you care for him as a friend, and you are concerned of how he finds pleasure with those media. It doesn't always impose that you are judging his choice, you're simply just stating what you think is right and wrong to him. It's his choice in the end if he's willing to change or continue. If he has made his decision, make sure to trust him, knowing that he probably has thought about it and is willing to accept the consequences.

The best of luck!

I don't think it's a very nice thing to do to a friend in the first place... The best you can do now is never talk to him about it; it's his private stuff and you probably shouldn't do that again. I'd also be worried about his reaction if you told him because that might create some friendship issues.

[pjones]

you don't say how old you all are which might make a difference? i would say maybe you should mention the dangers, but remember, you invaded his privacy and it could really change your friendship.

[Jaffe]

Why were you stealing his stuff? Heh, it would be good to talk to him about the problem of having pics of little kids, but find a different context. Put the flash drive back and don't tell him you stole it unless you want to lose his friendship.

[tallboy217]

yeah thats kinda weird you went through his stuff without permission. you probably should tell him.

I think the big issue here is why does he have child porn, that is illegal and could get him prison time.

[Bluebyrd]

No offense, but that's just creepy. Tell him that it's illegal to have child porn dammit!
