Re: YouTube/Parental Controls

[Guest guest]

This is so very true! My son last year, at school, got through the

school's computer " watch dog " feature. We are still not sure how he did

it. He wasn't allowed to use the computer for the rest of the quarter.

He loves youtube and world of warcraft. He gets both as rewards now for

his homeschooling.

I let my 5 year old play with you tube on the iphone the other day while waiting for an appointment. I typed thomas the tank engine in the search field. OH MY GOD! There's some pervert out there who has dubbed over a thomas episode with filthy language. I hear these words coming out of the phone and I snatched it right away. Would something like this make it past a parental control? I need to check that out!Amy
