Statistics reveal that 90% of 8-16 year olds access sites with adult content on the internet. I wish to prevent my ten year old son from venturing into these forbidden sites. He has been recently initiated into using the internet and we have listed certain sites which he can visit on our PC at home. But I would just like to take some precaution. Is there any help?

    Im not too sure of the program my ex-girlfiend used, but what it did was "spy" on her daughter's internet activity.

    She was able to read her emails and keep an eye out for danger. Her daughter was a very good kid, but she really needed help regrading a very crazy boy with a fatal attraction that she would have never asked for help for. The spy software allowed her mother to step in.

    I know it may seem questionable, but you are the parent, and you pay the bills.

    Of course. Have you heard of kidsemail.org ? It's a great site which makes internet experience for kids very safe and interesting. It is very reassuring for parents to know that they will be in complete knowledge of their child's internet activities. The site allows a child to receive emails from those in their contact list, email a copy of incoming messages to the parent, remove images within emails, remove links within emails, etc. and other such features to safeguard internet access.
