    A caution to parents.

    Let me first say that this is not written by a parent who has had a terrible thing happen on my computer and I am blaming my kids for it. Truth be told, my attention to this topic comes from working with far too many parents who end up paying (and paying, and paying) for their kids exploration of the Internet.
