Reply To: Does a parent have a right to break a computer bought by a child?

You are his parents. You have a right to set boundaries for what he is and is not allowed to do at home. If he purchased a computer, great. You have a right to tell him that it must be properly filtered according to your standards if he wants to use it in your home. If he does not comply, dont let him use it. Why would you want to break it? What do you accomplish by that?
