It was in the front room not their bedroom.

Walk out slowly and afterwards, have a chat with him and tell him in future to do that in HIS bedroom.

Walk back out...if they dont see you
if they do... just say opps sorry.
leave it for a bit.
Poor thing would be horrified and embarrassed.
Maybe get famliy member of the same sex later to mention ... parent cool with you masterbating and its perfectly normal, maybe the living room aint such a cool place due to the walk in on you problem.
Parent didn't want you embarrased and seeing the funny side of it.
as may be easier for thm or saying ti them with a hug saying... you human of course we know you do this along with everyone else.
Just dont leave a mess in the room please
Something like that
its a lot better if you cover this in sex ed properly before hand sayin they kids will be doing this, and that if you accidently walked in both would probably be embarrased but thats just the shock of it but it would be cool and saomething to laugh about
well before its likly to happen

I would sit them down and tell them that the front room is not an appropriate place to touch yourself in ( i mean what if someone saw them through the window, or if another person walked in on them - the living room is a public place in the house), and tell them if they feel the need to do that then they should do it in their bedroom (buy a lock for privacy) or in the bathroom.

It is perfectly normal behavior...you just walked in and now it is time to realize that they are at the age where knocking becomes VERY important. Many people consider this to be a horrific thing, but it is part of growing up. In fact, it is actually healthy.
I wouldn't bring it up unless the child does. If they do, simply apologize for walking in, and assure them that they have done nothing wrong. Society really has taken that act and made it in to a very horrible thing and your child may feel this way, so just support them!
Edit: Ok, since we are talking about the front room, the only thing needed to be said is that they need to do that in privacy in their own room or restroom. Simply put.

If they didn't see you, then do/say nothing. Hopefully he/she will learn to lock the door and if not, you should knock on the door and push it open again and catch them and then they will learn to lock the door.
If they did see you, you should acknowledge it. Tell them that what happened the other day was pretty awkward for you both and tell him or her to prevent things like that happening in the future it may be best for him/her to lock the door.
Of course it's horrible to walk in on something like that, especially when it's on of your own kids... but if you don't say anything when they know you saw them, it's just as awkward. You'll both be avoiding each other to avoid the awkwardness and your relationship will suffer. Say something and the awkwardness will be over and done with. That's just what I would do as a parent and what I think is best for your relationship with your child.

I guess that really depends, how old is your child that is in mention??
Older kids arent going to bring it up unless you do and unless it really bothers you to the point you feel like you have to. Dont say anything, maybe thats the only sex they are having. And well its safer right?
If this is a younger child you are talking about, Id def. bring it up. Younger kids dont embaress easy. Im guessing though its an older child. If thats the case be glad you didnt walk in on them having sex! That would be worse....And well use the ol' knock before you enter rule, should keep that from happening again....
Good luck

I think I would just walk out and not mention it. They will be embarrassed enough, it's a very personal thing. I'm sure they will keep it to their bedroom from now on.

Well its something we all do, choose a good time and talk to them about it. Make them realise that the front room isnt the place to do it, and it he/she feels the need to do it they should do it in there bedroom.

First I would just walk out and act like you didnt see anything. But later definately tell them that masturbating is a natural thing but if they are going to do something like that then they need to be discreet and do it in the privacy of their own bedroom. Explain to them that you understand that they need their privacy but they need to understand to be more respectful of the house!

I think it matters how old the kid is.... if they are 8 (some kids start that early out of curiousity, not sexuality) then Id talk to them, if they are 16 Id act like you never saw it and never bring it up again. Im a big fan of talking things out and having an open relationship with your kids, but I do think it depends on age.
