So, you have the net nanny and you think you’ve blocked off all possible inappropriate material from your children.

WRONG!

Don’t forget e-mail — kids can easily set up a Hotmail or Yahoo! account and it’s AMAZING how many spammers are out there ready to e-mail your teen or pre-teen with decidedly inappropriate material. Of course, in some cases, the minor has gone to an XXX site and “verified” that they were of age, signing up, sometimes unbeknownst to them; sometimes giddily completely aware of their actions.

Mmmmyeah. I speak from experience. I know one teen with suspended Internet access. Perhaps forever.

SIGH.
