I popped into my buddies place on the way home after work. I spoke to him about some of the issues and we will be putting the PC in the family room. They all spend a lot of time here watching TV and playing games on the Playstation.
I am also going to look at McAfee parental control tonight to see what option this offers. I think I am a bit nervous of this story as they have sort of entrusted the kids well being to me as far as the net goes.
I think they have a good open relationship with the kids so this side of thing should be covered quite well. I know they have already spoken to the eldest daughter about the sex issue and she took it very well asking questions and so on. They are quite bright youngsters so I think they will be quite open with the folks if anything seems wrong to them on the net.
I have also pointed out that whatever software we do install to keep it clean is just that software and does not really have any intelligence at the end of the day. I will also need to sit down with him and give him a few 101 computer lessons
