My 16 year old has been visiting questionable sites for about 3 yrs now. My wife discovered the downloaded movie previews and pictures. We have tried everything from embarassing discussions (embarassing for him) and blocking any site that has the word "hentai" in it.

But it's like cockroaches when the lights are turned out. the moment we leave the house for even 5 mins, he's on the computer. If he hears us coming, he powers off (and it being a window 98 machine it easy to see that because of the disk scan that kicks in when we power up) and make like he's so innocent.

Well, now I have a router and the computer is in the kitchen. He can only access using the kids XP profile, which does not access the internet unless and admin account (mine) opens the port on the router. The old computer has its port closed too.

I would like to reinforce what Charlatan posted: early communication and cooperative parenting. All of our kids know what the birds and the bees, and we provide a united front. Having said that, hormones rage on. For the kids as well...
