No ~ I just have an intranet set up that means I can "filter" via my PC everything they access from their wireless connections. I also have set up their laptops with me as administrator using passwords so secret they cannot get past them. whistle:

If I wanted to I could monitor every keystroke they make but I can't be arsed. "Net Nanny" ensures they do not wander into pornography or graphically violent sites and I can be alerted to any attempts to circumvent the system. However the THW spends most of her time emailing her boyfriend and other class mates regarding homework, outings and meet-ups. She has thus far displayed total distain for facebook and similar sites as have her friends. They have their own little chat room which is on the school main site and monitored by the school ~ that seems to satisfy them. Facebook and other such sites are officially "Not Cool" anymore and inhabited, so I am told, by "saddos looking for kicks and/or recognition of their puny lives". When asked if she had put her photo on the site or any site for that matter she gave me a look of withering contempt and said "I'm not that stupid"
Minor is interested only in Trains and Pirates and Minimus likes to play "Adding up games" ~ (I do hope he doesn't turn out to be an accountant) and looking for Dragons.

Treatment recommended by our Drill Corporal was to get a pint of petrol from the MT Section and scrub your nether regions with that. Reporting sick for treatment could and would lead to a charge of "Self Inflicted Wounds".

Why not give him his own laptop and leave him to it. Forbidden fruit ALWAYS tastes sweeter. Once he has his own kit and internet connection he'll leave yours alone. It is perfectly possible to stop him viewing porn sites if that is the fear. Most other stuff he can access at school anyway. We can prevent his accessing here because we will spot his ISP, which will be the same as yours if you set him up on an intranet at home, AND stop creating multiple identities for yourself.
