Parents rely too much on other parties to protect their kids, when they can
do it themselves by checking logs and histories.  If you really want to know
what your kids are doing on the internet.  Check out the history provided by
firefox (the default browser in Ubuntu).  If you want to know what your kids
are doing on your computer, check out the logs provided in /var/log.
