One fairly easy and free way to protect the kids (and yourself) on the internet is to use OpenDNS as a way to connect to sites. It has parental controls with 50 filtering categories plus phishing protection. You can even make the changes on your router so that all computers in your house will be protected. You do need to create an account with OpenDNS, but that is easily done. I’m running it on my main computer to give it a test.
