Sometimes it is very hard to restrict kids from accessing certain sites. It is better to provide them with as many resource which are suitable for their age and give them understanding of the danger in the internet.

There are indeed many myths of the Internet, and one of the worst is Internet predators. It is a myth that kids are likely to become victims, yes. What is NOT a myth is the fact that these guys are out there and they ARE trying! Fortunately, most kids are smart enough not to talk to strangers, but you canâ€™t ignore the promiscuity of teens (girls AND boys) and the thrill of being dangerous. But forget about predators, itâ€™s just simple young naivetÃ© and mischief and cyberbullying that parents need to really worry about. Kids today have no concept of the real world we live in because their world is almost entirely digital and virtual. Donâ€™t waste time trying to block and restrict, with monitoring software like our PC Pandora you can KNOW. Everything else is just guessesâ€¦ check us out at http://www.PCPandora.com for more info.

You said what I have been thinking — there is not guarantee of internet safety. Those who say they are providing a safe place can be the very predators that you want children to avoid. I found another web blog about this issue at http://www.drbethrobinson.com. She seems to be a professor of behavioral science and a therapist. She has some tools for teaching children.
