Thanks, I hate it when my kid goes and orders an ounze of kush, stinks up the whole house............

LOOOOOL

🤣🤣

the easiest way would be to poke their eyes out with forks, then they wont be exposed to anything bad on the internet.

problem fixed

Urm mines now 20 but a couple of observations

1, that’s one rich kid to be able to afford little biggy rates maybe if your kids got access to that kind if cash maybe start there.

2, my boy had about 5 dealers in his school class. County lines is rife you’ve got 12 year olds with black bags full of weed and much much worse - much more if an issue imo one of them got robbed and the little bastards raped him, a 15 year old and they videoed it and distributed it. I bet his parents wished he was on little biggy

3, again loads of fake prescription drugs online which the kids go mad for, fake vallium and adderal which are actually killing people

I get what your saying and yes I’m a parent and certainly won’t be encouraging weed use but on the list of things as a parent I worry about, this is pretty low on my list. Also I agree with nick In the respect that most 14 year olds are more tech savvy than us oldies and will laugh at our controls while bypassing them.

Protect your cash from them little weed monsters

It’s only weed…..

Would you let your kid smoke weed lmao? their brains aren't even fully developed..

No I wouldn’t but this topic is about building tech barriers and “lines of defence” that I wouldn’t do either.

Out of interest: What age did you have your first spliff?

12 and there was no Internet

I was 13 but then weed was 4-6% THC. We are to blame for our kids getting into problems with ultra strong weed because we keep demanding it! 🤷‍♂️

You cant stop kids doing what they want if they are determined, personally id tell them to be careful as definetely not good for young brains...i believe their was less psychosis back in the day due to lower levels of THC

Weed is isn’t great really is it?most ppl I know has turned them weird,it makes me into an arse the day after I’ve smoked it,I shouldn’t smoke it really I smoke a tiny bit every 2 weeks and it still has a negative effect on me,and it’s fucking addictive,like I’m thinking about it all of the time,I like it when I’m stoned but too many negatives for me.
Just probably not for me.
For under 18s definitely a no no.

It’s not for everybody. But then, what is?

Whole site behind login and disable robots.txt so search engines can’t crawl. 2 quick and simple fixes to make this site much more secure and keep it under the radar! I’d happily help myself if the owners needed developers

thanks

Written by someone without teenage kids!

Wrong ;)

On wifi a teenager is as easily blocked as anyone if you control your router and don't share the password, just block the site in question and you are done.

Most of us hold the purse-strings on our kids mobile subscriptions, credit card use, and control the mailbox keys in their house. Any help with this stuff just ask.

If they can get through all of that you have something functionally equivalent to an adult on your hands.

We've gone beyond security now and the remaining options are surveillance and parenting. I'll leave this dirty work to you all :)

As I say,you don't have teenage offspring,do you? My 13 year old daughter can go through a Parental control faster than I can set them and yes, when it comes to tech,teenagers are little adults and have a far better understanding of tech than older age groups.

I sure do home slice, I'm not sure what you mean by parental controls but that's not what you should rely on.

Strong passwords and keys are not breakable by teenagers. Outside of Hogwarts that is.

the best way to reach a teenager is to message them in class

We'll see

You can use a mix of 3 browsers to get around parental controls put direct onto phones/laptops. Your best setting restrictions via the router with the IP log in

A VPN is an easy way around any router blocked sites. Most teenagers could figure that out in my opinion.

lol

If your router allows the DNS to be changed use Open DNS, link below. Make an account, you can block domains.

If the kid can change their PC DNS setting it won't work ..

Should be able to do it through Terminal or whatever the PC equivalent is.

Thanks but the kids got his machine password protected.

a small lego set takes up the same space as a phone basically. just sayin

Absolutely great response!
