Personally I'm of the opinion that they should be told not to go on the 'bad' sites, and trust them not to. If they want to, they'll find a way to do it. either at school or a friend's house or something. And if they find out that you have been reading their messages and not trusting them, then they'll go even further lengths to do what they want. As long as they know right from wrong, they'll be ok.

Though what do I know; I'm just a big kid myself :)

There are programs (Google for child safety/internet safety etc) like Net Nanny but youngsters are very clever and can probably get round them,

I agree with fo3nix - education, education, education (and some trust)
