He vs. Me : Who is in the wrong?

My husband has this friend in the dominican republic who is constantly sending us annoying forwards. Well this time she crossed the line. She claims that she wants everyone to know what sick people are in the world so that we will never let our kids out of our sight. The attatchment in her forward was an extremely graphic hardcore video of a pedofile who recorded himself in action. I was FURIOUS and I blocked her from sending us anymore e-mails. Now I cant even delete that disgraceful video from the drop-down file in my mediaplayer, I think it may even be a virus! My husband yelled at ME for overreacting! He said his friend also has a son, she only wanted to share this information for the purpose of awareness...I say we hear about this enough on the news to know we need to protect our kids, we dont need to see it live in action. I think she is a PIG with no CLASS. Who is in the wrong here???

ur rite.. according to me...
just try restoring the system to a rpevious date.. incase urs is win xp... might be the data after tat gets erased.. this worked for one virus in my system....
just let me know....

We cannot control other people on what things they wanted to send to us through the email.. you on the other hand has a choice on whether to open the email and watch or just ignore and delete the emails... just like spam emails.. you don't have the control on the sender but you can choose to delete or open the spam emails.. yeah sure the sender is a pig.. but don't get angry with your husband, he's not the one who is sending the disgraceful video..

I think you are mostly in the right because you were forwarded something that you found to be extremely graphic and disturbing to you, but you need to talk to your husband about it and see what he has to say without being extremely upset. You need to explain to your husband how you feel and listen to his thoughts. Try not to get too upset and make sure you listen. You need to be able to talk and try to be calm about it while still expressing your thoughts. He will understand.

Address the issue to your husband.
Tell him you understand the "message", and you know how to take care of your kids thankyouverymuch.
But spreading pedophile vids to raise awareness is not the answer.
Politely ask the pig with no class to not send you anything further likewise.

both of you are wrong....him for under-reacting and you for over-reacting. Maybe she thought you would want to know....I agree it is tasteless....but you might want him to simply tell her that you dont accept that type of email/forward....instead of calling her a pig and blocking her. Just email her and tell her to stop forwarding this type of material.

I would never want to see a video of that uggg I think it is bad enough to even have to hear of such things. I bet it is a virus and I do not blame you for blocking her she really took things too far in sending that crap!!! Its like promoting the very thing she professes to hate. You win.

your husband seems like he cares for her alot, seems like she is trying to tell you how to educate your children and that i know that it wont happend just talk to your husband and tell him how you really feel about but he dosent have to screem about it either shes not worth its you his wife with his kids

I think you're right. That lady totally crossed the line. It's one thing to spread awareness, but to send a graphic video that may be a virus is just terrible! I'm sorry you're in this situation. =(

Your just protecting your kids and your right you don't want to see that crap. Try ctlr, alt, delete to get rid of it. If that doesn't work, call your server and they'll help tell you how to get rid of it.

He's wrong. Forwards are annoying anyway, but this one is completely inappropriate.

Your hubby is wrong, if someone sent me that email, i would report them for distributing kiddie porn

her, totally.

haha your husband likes underage porn

Im with you! You go girl tell that Pig with no class..

Your right. Don't let her get her PIGGNESS across!

her ,,yup

Here's the deal - if the police where to sieze your computer today, they would find you in possession of child pornography and you would be in dire legal straits. It is extremely illegal to possess child pornography FOR ANY REASON. Your husbands friend has put you in a horribly atrocious situation. Child porn should not be propogated, not even for demonstrative purposes, I worry about some who would send this - regardless of the "justification". Where did they find it, why did they find - these are some questions I'd ask. You are totally in the right - you could face jail time for your husband's "friend" and her actions.

This friend is worse than a pig and your husband needs to cut all ties.

I don't think you're over reacting. I'm sure as a mother, you already know that there are a ton of crazies out on the streets. Having somebody send you a graphic video of a pedophile is ridiculous and inappropriate. I, for one, wouldn't appreciate getting that in my inbox! I side with you over your husband.

I don't think it matters what her motives were for sending the video. Blocking her emails shouldn't make much of a difference either way. (From the sounds of it, she only sending you annoying emails that you never answered to in the first place.)

In my opinion, I believe that she crossed the line. Even though you should be aware of situations such as this, you do not need anything telling you how to be a parent. Your husband is wrong in the fact that she does not have the right to be sending you junk, spam, fw e-mails etc, ESPECIALLY when it involves something of that nature. You need to calmly sit down with your husband and explain your view of this e-mail, and let him voice his opinion without interrupting. Post-conversation, write a sincere e-mail to your husband's friend. Give her time to respond, and let her have a second chance. Tell her how upset you were after receiving the e-mail, and how her chain e-mails bother you. The key to this is to let everyone voice their opinion, but you still need to be in control.
