but no where is safe on the internet... the best way to keep a kid safe, is to teach them what isn't safe.

You have to trust your kid to be smart and not do stupid things like give out their name, address, or other personal info online.

The internet can't be made safe, because it is the kid who isn't being safe, always.

really.. I wouldn't block his access, I would teach him how to surf the net responsible-like....

Part of that is teaching him what porn is, why it is easy to find, and why he shouldn't look at it. Namely, it is something he shouldn't worry about now.

But, you aren't his dad, that is his dad's job.

I'm very black and white on this. Either he learns proper net usage and safety, or he doesn't use the internet at all.

The internet is like a gun... When used in a range, with people around and a knowledge of gun safety or out hunting in a safe way. It is fine. Anything else is not fine.

Treat the internet exactly like a gun. A gun with animal sex and decapitation videos.

I mean... really... No one should have the internet if they aren't trustworthy... Kids or Adults.
