I have to admit I used filtering software on my daughter's computer when she was very small, but now that she's 10 she's pretty clued up about internet security. She confirmed this just today when she asked us if she could register for some games site or other, and when I came to have a look, she already unselected all the mailing-list-et-al boxes.. and told me that she wasn't stupid, and only ever filled in the required fields, and unticked all the options possible :-) Regarding mobile, have other people actually found this an issue? My daughter has a mobile phone, but has never received anything questionable so far (and neither have I much). Maybe we're lucky/untypical, but this has not be an issue. Mind you, we're not at the stage where the children are seeking out this stuff on purpose... Russell,
wholeheartedly agree with you. I have to admit I used filtering software on my daughter’s computer when she was very small, but now that she’s 10 she’s pretty clued up about internet security. She confirmed this just today when she asked us if she could register for some games site or other, and when I came to have a look, she already unselected all the mailing-list-et-al boxes.. and told me that she wasn’t stupid, and only ever filled in the required fields, and unticked all the options possible :-)

Regarding mobile, have other people actually found this an issue? My daughter has a mobile phone, but has never received anything questionable so far (and neither have I much). Maybe we’re lucky/untypical, but this has not be an issue. Mind you, we’re not at the stage where the children are seeking out this stuff on purpose…
