Thanks to all that have answered. I appreciate the responses greatly. |

Indeed the question was based around what to do with a kid that's not |
| 59 |
using his computer time appropriately. It has nothing to do with |
| 60 |
'protecting' him via censoring or anything like that. It was more a |
| 61 |
matter of should he be playing Flash games or playing online videos of |
| 62 |
Star Craft games when he has homework to be doing. After thinking about |
| 63 |
it the decision in the end was to do nothing technical. Nothing |
| 64 |
technical is going to fix this problem other than him growing up a bit. |

Thanks again, |
