Zach (age 11) has been sneaking up again at night playing on the puter. Looking at MMORPG sites and *gasp* pron!!! I left it for a couple weeks to figure out the pattern, and today I said something.
He steadfastly lied about it today, so I showed him my looking at the History card right in front of his face. He was floored. And grounded from the computer and pretty much everything else for lying for an indeterminate period.
But now I'm sure he's gonna go ask his friends how to get around all my little sneaky tactics to keep him off/monitored, and as time goes on and he's allowed back on it or manages to sneak on, he'll be back on to his own tricks.
Password the guest account, password the screensaver, I'm about to do all that. My question is, what else can I do? I gotta sleep sometimes. Say he manages to get on at times unsupervised and figures out he can delete selected items out of the history...how can I check that? Is there another way? Would I have to go so far as a keystroke logger?
