Thanks my thought are much the same as others.... supervies the kids. if you can, put the computer in a public part of the house. have a good talk to them about what is bad a why. the cyber world is just like the real world. teach them good habits, teach them good social skills. teach them right from wrong. |

Make it a family rule that the history is not to be cleared. Ask to check their profiles on their Bebo or whatever... give them time to get it sort. www.netsafe.org.nz has a happy dolphin thing you can download... Your child can click a button and it covers the screen if s/he beomes upset by something. Software can add a layer of protection, but older kids can often get around it, using proxies and stuff. Watchdog works well. Sometimes hit and miss, but you get that when people lie in their meta data. |

Despite its claim of preventing user from accessing unbecoming websites, it cannot be relied as an absolute tool for that purpose. Cheers :) |
