Reply To: Going off the Derech

What came up last night was, that my son said if I want to keep him away from the chevra, I should buy him his own computer and let him do whatever he wants, watch any movies he wants, no getting involved. Should I consider this? My gut reaction is that I don’t really want to bring this into my house, and help him immerse himself further into the secular world, but on the other hand, it would keep him away from the bad crowd (hopefully). I was letting him use my computer periodically (without internet) to see Groveis movies, or transfer songs to his MP4, but when I realized he was somehow putting garbage onto his MP4, and hanging out with this crowd, I stopped it.
