Hello Barbara,
I was looking for something like you suggested just a couple of days ago
and came across this article. I will copy the address in, however, be
aware it is a very long address so your e-mail program may or may not pick
all of it up in one chunk. Basically what it all boils down to is that
AOL's Young Teen setting was very good at blocking some of these sites. No
software will be 100 percent and parental supervision is still the best you
can have. I tried Net Nanny for a short time but did not like the
quirkiness of it. For example, I want to block all no-no sites from my
eight year old's eyes but when I turned on all of the filters, I couldn't
go to simple places like google or other general sites because they weren't
rated. I hope you have wonderful luck in your quest.
