    Your school going kids must be having access to computers and laptops with Internet connection, as early as, fourth or fifth standard itself.

    Now a days, even in normal websites like online clothes sale website, there is a link for 'date with opposite sex friends'. Kids, out of curiosity, click on this link and reach 'dating websites' easily.

    These 'dating websites' , in turn, have the link for adult websites. There is every chance that the kid, again may click on the link and reach an adult website. Many kids may land up in an adult website, at least out of curiosity.

    To prevent this, I am using a free Parental Control Software, called, "Norton Safety Minder". https://onlinefamily.norton.com/familysafety/loginStart.fs

    All you need to do is, log in into the above link, register yourself with your email id and a password ( a new password, not the one for your email id).

    Feed which user accounts in your computer , you want to be monitored. For safety, you can feed all user accounts in the computer. Whenever some one attempts to enter an adult website, this software will block it. Not only that, within a second, it will send an email to you, saying, some one attempted to enter into this adult site at this time.

    So, even when you are out of the house, you have control over your kids straying into adult sites, (intentionally or unintentionally).

    I am using this software for the past five years. It has been extremely useful to me.

    That is a licenced anti-viral software costing around Rs.1300. Yes, with it, the above said parental control software come freely.

    Even without Norton anti-viral software, one can google and download the free parental control version (the link is given in my first post) and install in your laptop/computer.
