Yes, there are content settings. I can't really direct you to them, but JustJunior would surely be able to locate them and secure Marissa's computer so she can't accidently come upon sites she should not see.
I am sure glad I am not raising kids in this day and age. It was difficult enough during the 70's and 80's, but at least we didn't have to deal with computers, myspace sites, text messaging and all that. Keeping tabs on kids just seems so much more difficult now. Cell phones are nice for keeping in contact though.
You are right .... I need to ask him to check it out this weekend.
I think cell phones can be useful. Right now, she is never left alone. She stays at school until we pick her up. So we take her to school and pick her up.
The reason we pick her up after school, we do not want the bus to leave her here when no one is home. She knows what to do should that ever happen but I don’t want to give her chance to use what she learned.
