Internet safety

Do you monitor what your children are looking at on the internet? Do you use a type of nanny software? My son was getting penis enlargement ads through his email that we blocked those. My husband checks his history every now and then and discovered he was reading some adult cartoons. DH said the stuff highschoolers might read, beavis and butthead, etc. Anyway, I don't want is curiosity to go any further!

BTW, he is 12.

We use the parental controls on Norton AntiVirus Software for William and Jacob. Jennifer is 16 and she is internet savvy enough to get around them is she wants so we don't bother the SITES so much as the MSN Messenger with her. I like to know who she is talking to on MSN. :)

William also does not have a yahoo or hotmail account right now because of the amazing amount of SPAM that comes through...I am all for exploring your sexuality and we have a very open household when it comes to most things...I am just not sure that my 9 year old needs lessons on how to enlarge his penis or to see ads for "College Girls Gone Wild" :lol:

I hate those "girls gone wild" commercials! Thanks, we did put a block on his access. And we will tell him that his internet use will be monitored.

Hahahahaha, I get those all the time, too. My anatomy hasn't changed either. It would be nice if the government or the worl would enact some laws that actually do something about that spam mail. How about the e-mails that invite you to a porn site.

I monitor my daughter's internet use. She is nine.
