In reference to Gary's:
Insofar as monitoring what your child sees on the net it is quite impossible unless you have something like "net nanny."
I have tried a few Internet "Parenters" in the past. They really don't work if a kid like my 15 year old knows how to get around them.
On the whole. I just don't allow my children to do searches. There are a few "choice" sites a allow them to go to. ie: pbskids.com, brainfun.com, (or funbrain?) and miniclip.com, of which I don't allow downloads.
If my daughter needs to search for some info for a project, I do that myself. When I get her to a site with the info she needs I tell her to read.
So, It's not "impossible" just takes caring and determination.
Just my opinion,
Angela
