My son is on home monitoring instead of a jail sentence, why is it you can't have a computer online  a rule?

So, your son committed a crime, gets sentenced to a vacation at home, and is whining he cannot have a computer?  How about just being glad that he got off so easy, doing his vacation time, and then NOT commiting any more crimes in the future?

You probably are going to have to install a program like Net Nanny (http://www.netnanny.com/) or if you have a Windows XP PC I would set up a password needed to log in to even be able to access the computer.

Check on the statute of limitations in your state.  If the police knew what the man was doing then why did they not inform social services to monitor the household?\n\nYou need to get some legal advice.  If you have no money then you can start by contacting the Legal Aid Society in your state. The all  have web sites.\n\nIf there are sill any minor children in the home, then you need to contact social services yourself.

Well, if you want to know what he is up to, that part is easy, download and install this Keylogger which remains invisible unless the proper key combination is pressed, http://www.download.com/Home-Keylogger/3000-2092_4-10264521.html?tag=lst-0-1\n\nAs far as restricting sites this program might do the trick, NetVada Safety.Net which includes parental controls, http://www.download.com/NetVeda-Safety-Net/3000-10435_4-10382920.html?tag=lst-0-8\n\nIf your son finds out you installed these programs he might take it the wrong way so be sure they are well hidden.

You can't since you already plead guilty with a plea bargain. They wont listen to you anyway since he has violated probation. Your sons problem is that he looks more guilty by violating his probation. A violation to a judge is like telling him to go and screw himself. I suggest that you put him in a halfway house, and send him to treatment if you want any leniency at all. The people there can get the charges dropped, you can't as a parent. It is a conflict of interest to a court. The court could see you as part of the problem, and not a solution. That is the way the system works today, and there isn't any way around it.

On my computer there is no way to do that unless you have administrative rights/privleges. Why don't you just ask him?

you need to install some type of parental control software.  net nanny is excellent.  i know yahoo dsl subscribers and road runner subscribers have parental control software for free as part of their subscriptions.\n\nif they are younger kids parental control is the way to go because it is preventative.  for my older one, i use monitor software instead... more trust, but the ability to see everything they do/type/see etc so i can discuss with them if need be.

What's up? Don't you trust your kids? If that's the case, you should have a parental control on their PC. The information will be somewhere on the hard drive, you will have to get an expert to have a look for you but if they have done something illegal you can expect trouble with the law.

yahoo can let you set up all the parental controls you need but I would still recommend keeping the pc in the same room as you are in when the kids are using it.\nThis way you can see what is happening

Of all the people I know in prison, not one of them has ever mentioned being able to use a computer with Internet. They can use computers' to write letters and practice typing skills, play games but that's about it. Unless they are granted special privelages to go online but then I would believe they would be watched awful close. Real close.

Yes -- \n\nthe first suggestion is to ONLY have one connection to the computer internet -- and that is in the common area of the home where the parent can view anything the child is on -- and GIVE the CHILD a time limit -- say, 30 mins to an hour depending on whether they have homework or a project due.  \n\nThe second suggestion is to set up your computer with passwords for your administrative account, and separate accounts for the children -- and I did this and set my children's (now adults and on their own) to under 10 yrs of age rating -- and this is because I KNEW that there were sites out there that their peers (other teenagers) were viewing that I, the PARENT, considered Dangerous, Stupid, Offensive, and could possibly endanger the WHOLE FAMILY -- and as a SINGLE PARENT (and long-term one) -- I, being the one paying the bills -- put MY foot down on this.  The rating meant that they could access reference programs, but could not access porno or other offensive content.

I try not to do things I would mind seeing played back to me.  But I would strongly urge you to inform the police, this is called extortion and is a federal offence.  They may be able to help you and perhaps save some other fool from this humiliating experience.  That is, if this is for real.  Usually hard for a stranger to install hardware on a home computor without someone letting them in isn't it?  Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

I thought you were a psychology major looking to help people, now you're trying to get cybered. Little LIARS shouldnt be allowed online unless mommy and daddy are watching.

I don't know how much correct is to install a keylogger ; \nI know that you can block the access in "prohibited" for them sites.Get informed about this by a technician.\n Don't you find it more democratic?\nTalk with your children and try to have a good relationship with them,so that they will come closer to you and they will discuss everything with you.Their problems, their thoughts.\nAccording my opinion what you need is a closer relationship.\n\nKaterina
