Avoid connection to free-wireless

Hi,
I have a wireless connection protected by password, however we are also able to connect to two other free wireless.
I'd need to avoid the mac connecting to those lines.
Basically the point is to avoid my son staying all day-long on the web...
He knows the administrator password, so "delete wireless from the favourite list and ask for a password when activating airport" is not an accepted answer!

Any suggestions??
thanks!

Change the admin password? If for what ever reason he needs it, don't give it to him. Enter it yourself and make sure he can't watch you type it in. Make sure that if he needs it, you have to enter it all the time.

Unless someone has a better way, and the wireless networks aren't yours to administer, I don't see a better way.
