[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 575318, member: 1233"] Others have given great ideas. I will say that you need to lock down the computers and she cannot use ANYTHNG with internet access with-o you sitting right next to her. Tell school she is not allowed to use the internet under ANY circumstances because she cannot be safe on it and make them stick to it. School won't like it, but that is not your problem. If she does things onlne that seh shouldn't, she cannot be online unsupervised. Kids are the BEST people for getting around net nanny software, so don't rely on it. If you need to, remove the keyboard and mouse and lock them in a cabinet when you are not using the computer. Take away any ipods or phones that go online, and if she must have one of those things, she can have one that cannot go online. If you look around you can probably find a cheap pay as you go phone iwth no internet abilities. here they run about ten bucks at dscount stores. She doesn't have any real NEED to be on a computer, so if she cannot be safe, you cannot let her have any access. We have had members in the past who have met up with people they met online and got seriously hurt. Don't let the computer bring someone into her life that will hurt her. Also don' keep trying to prove that you know she did something. If you know she did, give the consequence. If she denies, that is fine, she still has to do the consequence. Life isn't fair, and given her past lies you know that if something happens and she is blamed, well, that is the consequence for all the lies. period. Don't discuss, debate or negotiate. Say what is going to be, and then make it happen. It is hard, and I am not sure what all is going on behind the problems, so an evaluation would be a wonderful thing, but until one gives you some more idea of what is going on, you have to protect her from herself, esp on the internet. That means taking it away unless you have time to sit right there and watch everything she does on it. [/QUOTE]
