Off To See The Wizard How do you protect your children on the Net? You may feel inclined to tandem surf or hold your child's hand every step of the way. But that's not going to happen. You know better than to rely on Must be 18 warnings to filter the Internet. If Anything Goes is the Net's motto, will your great kid, reared on Barney and broccoli, end up with an eyeful of smut.com? Or worse? You've heard there are ways to keep undesirable stuff out, but you're skeptical. How can you tell if your kids will be forbidden ancient Greek statues but allowed some real horror? What can you do, short of lobbying Congress to nuke the Net? Don't panic. Before you drop-kick your monitor, use it to research and plan, just as you wish kids would. You'll find a range of tools -- some free -- and folks who understand. In the process, you'll most likely add a few technical moves to your parental repetoire. After all, you want that great child to have the advantages of Internet use for kids: reference for reports and homework, communication with friends and family, pursuit of interests, and -- need we say? -- entertainment. So go ahead and get this question resolved for your family. Soon enough you're bound to have something else to worry about, like your kid's best friend's brother getting a motorcycle.
