Geez, how hard is it to remove a computer from a kids bedroom? When I was a kid, I had a TV, when I was bad, I lost the TV. When I proved I was good, I got the TV back.

This is parenting 101 people!!

Ditto here....I'm 17, and I grew up like that...

Hey, you should check out this program too if you want. It's made by the number one Christian porn site. xxxchurch. They came to my church on National Porn Sunday and talked about sex addiction and whatnot. It was pretty neat.

Anyway, this software is for accountability. So people who are struggling with online porn addiction can have something to keep them in check. It basically logs the questionable sites that the person went to, and every two weeks emails them to two people that the person selected when they installed it. So you could look in to that route. It really isn't that hard to get around filtering and blocking, but at least the mom will be somewhat aware of what her child is doing.

X3watch There's the link to the program. Best of luck.

Like I mentioned I don't know the specifics, I'm only helping out one of my mothers friends. All I know is the kid throws fits of rage and tantrums and was told that he has a personality disorder. God knows what he'll do when he finds out he can't look at pr0n.
And PLEASE block ATOT on his 'puter while you're at it.

Thanks again guys, I'm going to tell the parents to get net nanny for this kid. I'm going to be afraid to look at this kids IE history and downloaded files and show the findings to his parents.

Also has anyone tinkered with the IE content advisor settings? A friend suggested to slide language, nudity, sex settings up, but to leave the violence setting alone :) It seems doubtful that this would help very much.

What if he's into really violent sex?
