Of course, as any good parent is obligated to do morally, and logically. Children are not yet mentally, (and sometimes physically) ready for adult content such as that. Without the proper knowledge and maturity, they can become easily lured into that sort of behavioral and moral decay. Now, I'm not trying to sit here and act like a perfect-moral-how-to-teacher, but it is just something not for kids.

Parental control for surfing the Internet. They will hate you for it but tough! You are their Parent and have the right to screen what they do. You can also buy a programme for watching everything that is done on your computer. Install a really good one and they won't even know you are watching them. Protect your kids cos it sounds like they can view anything and there are some seriously bad things out there. Your Internet Security should offer some level of censorship. Norton is good with full parental control.

As others have said, best bet is to install netnanny, cyberpatrol, or something like that.  At http://www.nonags.com you can get a free program that blocks just porn and nothing else.\n\nHowever ... please, please, please don't just install one of these programs and assume all is well and let your kids on the computer unsupervised.  IMO coming across adult content is one of the least of your worries!\n\nHow about IMing with their friends ... and strangers ... and the plans unsuperivsed kids may make online ... to go do something they shouldn't.  Dares.  Threats.  Meeting people somewhere they met online, and the people turn out to be other than they presented themselves as.  Kids don't have the discernment and experience to know who is safe and who isn;t, even among kids of their own age.\n\nYour computer should be in a common area of your home, they should only be allowed online when you can be there supervising what is going on ... like have monitor turned towards the room, and you can be watching tv or reading or whatever, but looking up occassionally.  If they are under 12, you should be sitting next to them most the time, or at lest more closely monitoring.\n\nSet up your internet so that it can not be accessed at all when you are not there.  The internet is a wonderful thing, and a great educational and social tool, but just as you would not let your 10 year old go to the mall alone, or your 14 year old drive a car, or your 16 year old drink, you need to make sure your children are not getting in over their head.

No. There are many software packages which advertise that they do that, but it is technically not possible to block everything.\n\nInstead, have your children use the internet responsibly, and don't let "it" alone keep them company, as you might do with tv for excample. The internet is not a child-friendly place.

It doesn 'block' porn but it will email questionable sights to an accountablilty partner.\nhttp://www.k9webprotection.com/index.html offers a free filter. It's designed to protect kids.\nhttp://www.cybersitter.com is rated the best but it is NOT free.\nYou can try http://3d2f.com/programs/0-203-netpurity-download.shtml I don't know much about it.

I couldn't agree with you more.  I mean, have you seen some of the screen names Yahoo allows the members to have?  That alone is enough to ban my kids from this and I haven't even started on some of the questions that get posted.  And who cares about being able to report something as abuse.  In a matter of seconds, inappropriate questions have already had their effect on kids probably on the site just looking for homework help.  Horrible.  Yahoo needs to install a language monitor so if a question has certain words, it is reviewed before it is posted.

Yahoo! does provide Parental Controls so that you have prevent your kids from going to certain sites on the Internet and monitor their online usage. It's a great idea, and I'm glad you're watching what your kids do online. For more information about Parental Controls, go to:\nhttp://ypc.yahoo.com/info/ordernow.html\n\nAn alternative is to be sure to turn on Safe Search so that your kids can't search for Adult-content sites. To turn it on, do any kind of search and then click the Preferences link in the top right of the page. Make sure Safe Search is ON.

I'm not particularly concerned about it. The internet is not a major risk to children, in reality. All this is just an overreaction caused by media hype. I've had unrestricted internet access since the age of eleven, and if anything, it's only helped me to grow up, with more understanding and knowledge of the world around me.\n\nPornography and violent media are rather easily access outside of the internet, and have been since before the internet became popular. I really wouldn't worry too much. As long as the child is mature enough and is taught the right values, nothing as mundane as internet access will corrupt them.

I don't think they should be banned. I don't know how they would get it all under control though without "checking id's at the door." I don't think it's right that the kids can lie and that ANYONE is able to get to their myspace page. Your parents weren't lying when they told you there are weirdos out there. And believe it or not, people CAN pretend that they are something they are not. There should be a way to let teens be on the internet, but actually be safe from all the freaks and the fakers out there.

If you are concerned with how harsh some of the content can be, why not use the parental block on the computer.  You can block out anything that is too harsh, like violent porn or anything hardcore.  Obviously he's curious and it's perfectly normal for him to be, there is nothing wrong with him wanting to see a naked woman ect.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with a mother wanting to protect her child from potentially harmful influences.

With supervision, absolutely. My wife's daughter has been surfing the web since she was THREE. She used to love barbie.com.

Because the one is more obviously associated with potentially offensive content, and Yahoo can't risk a lawsuit by an overprotecive parent (the service is supposed to be age 13+ ).  Of course, I'd be surprised if there's a 13-year old that doesn't use that word from time to time, but that's the censored world we live in now.
