[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1569027"] I am not a parent, but (depending on the age of the children involved) wouldn't letting them know you are monitoring their Internet use be a better approach? Wouldn't that make them less likely to visit "bad" sites? You'd know better than I, of course, but "spying" on the kids surreptitiously is bound to cause trust issues at some point ... My father-in-law (this is some time ago now, so his technique may not work these days) had a clever way of "monitoring" Internet use: the only computer that was allowed to be connected to the net was in the main room of the house, and faced everyone. He (and sometimes anybody) wasn't in the room all the time, but others had to pass through there to go to any other part of the house, so there was more or less constant traffic. This was pretty effective in keeping everyone "clean" on their internet use. [/QUOTE]
