Permanent Xbox Friend Block?

So as of right now, me and my son (15) share an Xbox Live account. i'm all fine with him playing the games and talking to the usual psycho people, but he has befriended one and he has changed for the worst! ever since he's played with this friend he has been acting up and going completely out of line. is there any way i can cut off this line of communication for good? like make it so that i can take the other player off the list and make sure my son can't add him back later? i know that it is a little mean to try to do, but if he's going to play with people like this who turn my son into a bad kid, i don't want him playing with them. thank you all for any help! much appreciated

So...you want to block that person he plays online with instead of...you know...grounding your kid?

There's no way to stop your kid from adding him again if you delete the friend. You can block communications with him so he can't send your son messages but as soon as your son messages him, the friend can messgae your friend again.

Honestly I wouldn't allow my 15 year old son to go on xbox live. You even said it yourself that he talks to "psychos."

What did you expect?

block communication, remove from friend list, delete any messages from him. and just keep eye on the kid.

option 2: i think little to much for 15 old but just in case it goes so far. Microsoft set the xbox to be very parent friendly. buy him his own account make it a child account and go to famaily settings. one setting is to only allow send/ accept friend request with a password you create. but i think it should only be used if things get out of control.

not sure if you can do it with a adult account but who knows

Honestly if your child is acting up, because of some person online. there is really nothing you can do, he is going to act like that wether you delete his friend or not. I might be easier for us to help if you tells what he is doing, ie curse, talking violently etc. Honestly, got to draw a line and not allow him to cross it, also get him his own account, I believe it something you both could enjoy. Plus, I believe on child accounts there is a way to force your son to have parental approval for friends

you kids still don't understand how parents can't watch their own kids 24/7 and watch t.v with them and know whats going to happen next. or what some random people she/he play with online. nor people she/he meet at school or anywhere in real life to school/ from school or where ever at in life. or even read their minds and think what they thinking that there not telling us...

personally. when i was young. my mom is single working everyday she can't watch me every min. she as no clue what i truely think of 97% humans. (if i say it i get ban) then you think i should be put out of my suffering. sadly what i think is true. i'm one of very few people you meet in your life where my eyes are so open to other people thoughts and understanding them so well i think the way i do.

sorry went to far. point is someone can't have babysitter 24/7

it's two words you should of heard a alot in elementory/ jr high/ high school/ your family.

PEER PRESSER.

at least 50-75% in this world don't have enough will power to only follow their ways only and don't follow their friend actions unless they truly want to because accepted.

sure once in your life you dont something because of the friend/s you hanged out with did something and you follow suit. not saying it as to be bad or Good be something good

This is a parenting issue

You take the console away until he can use it and act correctly

i have no problem with his video game intake. he doesn't do anything wrong until he's with this friend of his. i've already tried taken action (i.e. grounding) but no matter what it always comes back to this. Grounding isn't always the answer you know. If you only believe that's the answer, the child will more than likely just grow more and more defiantLittleBigDawg
