I have a solid relationship with my son. Ever since he was small he's had access to the internet and I've never blocked him from anything. He's known about frauds and phishing and viruses for ages and is suitably cynical.

Snooping on his internet browsing habits just seems wrong to me (like reading other people's letter as someone said). I'm sure he's looked at porn (big deal) and I'm equally sure that after the initial buzz he finds 99% of it as banal and boring as I do.

"How about sitting down, talking to them, establishing a rappor and communication and then lead by example? "

Agree - he knows I trust him and he doesn't want to forgo that trust.
