ROFL, this is kinda funny because about 3 weeks ago I had the same discussion from one of my old co-workers that thinks that what I do is morally wrong.

The thing is that it's the PARENT'S responsibility to monitor what their kids do. The internet isn't a babysitter. My 12 year old son keeps bugging me to set the internet up on our second computer upstairs, I won't do it because of the fact that I don't want him looking for porn. He's only allowed on the internet on the computer downstairs when we're home, otherwise the case is locked up when we're not around. It's as simple as that.

For the parents that want their kids to have the internet on computers in their room, they take chances that they're gonna get into porn. Sure they can put up the cyber sitting programs on their computer which does block most nasty stuff and if they're REALLY that concerned, then they should secretly install one of those programs that makes a log of everything that they type and it also takes screenshots every so often, that way you'll know if they're trying to get into porn and can take action there. I think that between those 2 methods, it'd be totally full proof that they could get away with looking at porn without you knowing about it.
