I said to my ex's g/f that my son told me that he learned some perverted things from another boy. Does that mean I am slandering this boy?

No, because you are saying that your son told it to you, not that it is true

Slander is verbal and libel, its sister, is published.
The question is, is an internet message board considered a publication? If I said "Dick Cheney doesn't exist" I wouldn't be too scared of the Dick org. or Dick himself, since there isn't one...

Only if it causes him damage, and if you know it not to be true. You're not a slanderer, but you are a gossip.

If what you said is true, it isn't slander.
