    Then maybe unsupervised internet is not the best idea.

    When you're that age (well, usually a tad older) and male, there is nothing that will stop you from looking for salacious viewing. I had some friends at school who set up an arrangement with a local tramp. Others set up a library group of sorts with dropoff locations for magazines in various bushes so they could trade them without their parents finding out.

    Even if you block internet access, he'll probably end up getting it from friends through bluetooth, or on flash drives, or even downloaded through disguised email attachments.

    I don't really have a solution to your problem, because although security settings may stop him looking at it on your computer, it doesn't mean he won't find it elsewhere.

    Ah those were the days, getting the local tramp to buy your !!!!!! and white lightning :D

    Fun times :o

    you need an email address to regisiter for free to get the code. I use a hotmail email address which i created for adverts/passwords etc.

    Very naive to think that kids won't search for things like that at 11. My lad was only about 9 when we found a search for Boobs and bums on his pc. :rotfl: Of course his friend got the blame of it. As punishment his pc was taken out of his bedroom and put in a public room so he is supervised.

    Might have been looking for American versions of "dunce" and "homeless people." :rotfl:
