Parents are responsible for making sure that their children aren't 
harmed by anything they see on the net. There are two approaches. One is 
to stop  them from seeing anything harmful,  the  second is  to make 
sure that they aren't harmed by anything they might see. Neither of 
these is easy to do but the second  is  likely  to be more effective.

At one point I was responsible for a school network where all of the 
pupils had laptops. We had people permanently working on stopping 
"unsuitable" material from getting downloaded. There was always someone 
who found a way round whatever systems we used, I doubt that there will 
ever be a 100% effective blocking system that still allows the kids to 
do their school work.
