the BT explorer has pretty good parental controls on it. My son can only access websites I 'allow' and I get a report telling me which ones he has accessed. It does get tedious though haivng to password every new site, but he hasn't tried the adult sites yet. No doubt he will in a couple of years.

Good luck sorting it out, Kate

this is worrying. i agree with Digger.

think it would depend a great deal on the sites. At 12 I think it's more than enough to see the odd boob here and there, there's Page 3 if he's that curious, no-one's going to stop him buying the Sun. But I do think kids can come out with a slightly warped view of what's normal looking through the internet, as opposed to the magazines of old.

There is the issue not only of what could be regarded as 'normal' but also how boys are influenced as to how they treat women as they get older. If i had a choice, i would prefer mine look at magazines than internet.
