The basic precaution a parent really should take is to block pornography that might open into a child's PC screen even without a targeted search in a search engine having been done. This means that your child might innocently browse the computer for homework or for pleasure, yet still be showed an clear set of x-rated images as a search result of yahoo and other search engines. All children are inquisitive. Give a child a set of bad pics to look at or a harmless site of information on some age related topic and they will probably decide to look at the unsuitable photos every single time they are on the computer. It is not because they are bad- it is because they are do not know about the depth of harm such images can inflict on a young mind. High quality blocking software will block porn from your computer and safeguard a child’s online environment. Not to the extent that no guidelines are needed from a parent, but at least to give a safe framework and give parents the kind of peace of mind that comes from knowing their child is not going to be bombarded with disgusting pictures because nobody could be bothered to install effective blocking software. A porn blocker will allow your child to browse within the limitations allowed by the software installed. Access is limited to sites that contain the kind of material the parent deems suitable and it is even possible for a parent or guardian to set up an email message so that if adult related sites are being viewed on a home computer, an email might be received at the parent’s work computer advising on the situation. Although a minority of parents continue to resist using software to monitor their children’s online activities, most sensible and well informed adults in a freely acknowledge the duty of care that prompts responsible action where their children’s internet exposure is concerned. Block pornography in your home and allow your children the safety to use the internet as the valuable and educational tool it can be; not an addictive gateway to distorted ideas of sexuality and relationships.
