I am not a mother, but things like this have happened to people I know. During the school time they collected all computer related objects and the children could not play anything. They also told the children that they have to study well, otherwise the computer will not "be back" even during the vacations.
Good luck!

It seems like you're pretty upset, understandably. If he is going through a tough time because of learning difficulty, stress, or if something else is going on in his /your life that would cause him to act out, talk it out. I know when my mother passed, we thought I had A.D.D. because I couldn't concentrate to do my school work, but no matter what, you should always be aware of what your child is doing on the computer, so ask other parents how to put blocks on to avoid him from going on to bad sites. If it is as simple as him going on the computer so much that he will not do assignments, then definitely use 'not allowing him to use it' his punishment. It is always best to use positive reinforcement, by saying, 'I'll allow you to use it again when you start turning in your assignments.

When he comes home and get on the computer let him know that before he gets on the computer that he needs to do his homework and if he does not he will not get on it until he does. And if that does not work then you remove the computer all together and take away any games, toys and other fun activities form him or out of his room and that when he does his work he will get one game back for each assignment he does and that for every grade he gets you will make an attempt to buy a game and if he continues to do this that at the end of the school year he can ask for one thing that is in a certain price range for him to get according to his grades. I know that this may sound like bribery but it might make him work harder in school if he knows that you mean business and that he can have a room empty of basically everything. And also as you strip him of his things and he gets worse without doing his work take his bed and let him sleep on the floor just to show him how it would be like in the real world when life gets hard and in order to get things you have to work for it and if he was on his on and did not have a bed to sleep he would have to work to buy it so make him work so he can buy his bed back. All you are doing is showing him since he likes to play when it comes to homework that you are playing when it comes to taking his things away until he earns it back. It may work I may be wrong, but I did it to my 12 year old and this year she brought home all B's and she got everything back and now she is in a summer program at school and she continues to bring home B's and I'm proud because what i did may have been hard for me to do and I was al little tough but it worked and i would do it again if it would help make her improve in school.

Take the computer away from him. Put it in a closet or in the living room where you will be. Cancel the cable, take away his bedroom door. Tell him, can't be responsible for yourself, so no privacy. If I have to watch you day and night to get your school work done, then there will be no bedroom door, no cable shows, no movies, no computer games, nothing.

Why not just eliminate the computer all together until the homework gets done? If he wants to use it, make him earn it first. The more you hand him honey, the more he's just going to ignore the more important things in life.

Simply unplug the keyboard.
That should keep him off it.
He doesn't get the keyboard until you see the homework.
