[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here--I am not concerned about texting so much as--surfing on the wifi exposes them to pr0n. I searched the internet and found a device called [url]curbi.com[/url] for 5$ a month you can install a program on your kid's iPhone or iPad that will block access to any site you want at what ever time you want.

I can't believe that the people who are saying all or nothing really have teens. Are you kidding me? There has to be an in-between for trusting your kid and acknowledging that their are impulses that they aren't under control of yet.

Anyway, I am going to install this program from curb.com, I'll report back how it goes. We parents need to stick together on this and not just tear each other down for making a tactical error. These phones are a minefield--good for you if taking your 14 year old kid's phone away at night doesn't cause a huge amount of resentment and bickering--it does in my house-I'm just trying to fix this, not be my child's "friend".[/quote]

OP, do your teens have cellular access?  If so, curbi won't do much.  They can still text, download new apps that you don't know about so won't know how to block) etc.

Even if I am totally wrong, I can guarantee you that your kids will see this as going back on your word.  I agree porn is a problem, but you really should have made clear what you were offering before you made the promise.  Now the best you can do is offer them full access until they abuse it.

I'm not sure why this isn't registering with you.  If you don't see this point, you must be a very hard mom to live with and an even harder one to respect.
