I was going to suggest that you always be in same room as child when she is on-line, that way you can monitor where she is going much better.  Do know of Nanny Watch and other filters that parents  use also, but once kids get a little older they usually have how to get around them figured out.  It's sad that little ones have to be exposed to such things when they are truly only looking up things that interest them then get on some porn page that just because it has the word directs them there.  These machines aren't that great afterall.

Software packages susch as Norton's Internet Security has parental controls to block access to less than respectable websites.\n\nIf the kid is computer wise, amd most are, the parental controls build in Internet Explorer are easily defeated.\n\nAnother thing to do would be to create or modify his Windows XP so that he doesn't have Admin or Power User Rights.

You should have a parental control area with your Internet access.Just go there and put this website on as an adult place and place a password that only you know.That should stop anyone from accessing this site.

You could use a yahoo 360 page with strict parental controls so only people who know his email address can ask for permission to see his page, I am in the same situation with my 11 year old. We have an agreement that I'm added as a friend so I can see who she is adding.

I don't know about any of that software, but I suggest that you put the computer in plain sight for the rest of the family.  That will discourage them from using the computer inappropriately while you are at home, and will make it apparent when they use the computer.  You might set aside a room strictly for computer use, and maintain a presence there too.  Also, I think Internet Explorer has a content control system.  Check the Internet Options dialog for that feature.

Dateline did a couple of reports on Internet predators. On the page about these reports are some links for parents including programs to help monitor usage. Take a look at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10912603/\n\nAnother site just came to mind. To help her understand why she needs to be careful on the Internet, sit down with her and browse through the site http://www.perverted-justice.com You will probably want to visit first by yourself to get a good understanding of the site.

Certain programs such as Net Nanny and Cybersitter allow you to track what people view on the Web. Some of those programs will even categorize visits based on keywords and the like; for example, tell you if a given site contained the words "Satan" or "sex" or "drugs" or whatever.\n\nI'd look into one of those such programs.

If you are concerned with a childs safety, then the best bet is to go to the parental controls of your ISP (internet service provider) and change the parental controls to block out chat rooms or websites that contain adult material.

Kids need supervision on the Internet just as they do when playing at the playground. Here are some things you can do:\n\nSet up your computer in a high-traffic location in your home so anyone passing by can see the kind of content is being viewed.\n\nSpend time with your kids teaching them how properly to use the computer. If they're young and you want to strictly limit the places they can go, put all of the sites you allow in the Favorites section.\n\nInstall a filter system. I highly recommend Bsafe.com.\n\nIt's a battlefield out there. We parents need all the help we can get.

If you don't want your kids to become victims of online abuse, then you really should think about parental controls. Also, they can end up spending lots of money w/o the parental controls. Even if you trust your kids, there is still people out there that can take advantahe of your trust. (Check the latest news on online abuse).\nAt the end, it's up to you. Do you wanty to risk your kids?\nHaving parental controls will not limit your abilitu on internet. You can unlock at any time and off you go.

You can't completely.  The best you can do is take advantage of all the technology that exists.  Make sure your controlling what is on tv, what is on the computer, and what is in your home.  In the outside world though you have little control and need to explain it to your kids.

First of all you need to give her a screen name of her own.  Then you put a PARENTAL BLOCK on what she can and cannot look at!  They have age groups!  Under 5 and then 6 thru 10 and so on.  PUT A BLOCK ON IT NOW GIRL!  Then sit her down and explain what the block is for and about all the weirdo's and perv's in computer land that prey on little children.  Then explain that some people put dirty pics on the net for jokes.  She is way too young to hear the truth!!!!  PUT A PARENTAL BLOCK ON COMPUTER WHEN U R DONE READING THIS!
