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?

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.

@Ginos1, Welcome to 419legal, there are quite a few 'filtering' systems that can be used and they are helpful. however they will not stop him from accessing things via friends computers or even internet cafe's .

Many parents shy away from having a good heart to heart talk with their children and it could help by explaining why you would prefer him not to see these things.

All children are curious and want to know about what the grown ups are into.

The more it is a 'mystery' the more children want to find out about things.
Explaining your concerns and your reasons could be one way to prevent a lot of this natural curiosity.
I can not advise you as to how you bring up your children, so these are only my thoughts, thank you.
