I'm a middle-aged mum of a 16 year old boy and I've worked in IT since before PCs existed (yes, that old!). I firmly believe the best net nanny software goes in between the child's ears. Just as we teach them how to cross the road we need to teach them to stay safe online. And to understand that, as in real life, they will go to places we don't like as they get older.

I read about you in a NetFamily News article and immediately tried to go to your site. I opened a blank tab and typed in onteens (without the today) and reached a porn site. I tried to blank out the URL in the Nav bar and a popup from the porn site asked me if I wanted to leave this site but in such a way that when I clicked yes I was sent to another porn site. I had to eventually delete the tab and start over because the porn sites hooked me in some how and I could not escape their sites. Sometimes making a bigger deal over a bad site visit makes the child think maybe I should check it out more since I thought it was no big deal. I agree with your point made above Parents need to open the communication lines and talk about the site. I'm in NJ and want to promote more about internet safety. If you ever need anything in Monmouth County let me know would love to help your good causes. Its funny how you say kids get to a bad site by accident.
