[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 59666, member: 2211"] I sometimes feel like the internet is the devil. I know it's certainly had its moments of destruction around our house. Aside from removing it, the only other thing you can do is limit time spent on line, install passwords, and monitor what they are doing on there. Some parents install spy programs so they can see where their kids go on line and it's helpful. At one point, I changed all of the passwords on our computer and my kids couldn't get on ANYTHING until I provided the password without them seeing. That afforded me the security of knowing that when I wasn't around, they weren't on it. And, I was also able to disconnect them when I felt they'd been on enough. At another point, we lost the internet for 6 months due to some stupid moves which resulted in difficult child being kidnapped and sexually assaulted. The police had our computer during the investigation so that was that. You're right to be concerned and if you feel overprotective or that you're being unfair, oh well. Your kid's safety and the safety of your family should always come first - who cares what others think? Just my opinion based on personal horrific experiences. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
