True.......

If you get into the mindset though of trying to stop a kid from doing something, he'll want to do it all the more. It may be fine and good round his own house with a heavily restricted computer, but what when he goes to friends? What if he can bypass it?

Take reasonable precautions on your PC, but stress to him that he shouldn't be looking at porn, IMing adults or downloading warez and mp3s. You could frighten him off by saying it is criminal and you know someone that was caught, etc. Not ethical, but if it stops him from doing what you don't want him doing...
