DD has a phone which she got as a birthday present, preparation for high school, so she can ring me if stuck etc or loses her key.
When she got it I password protected the Google Chrome app and put safesearch on the Google Search bar and YouTube as parental controls.
This evening she had her phone in her room and accidentally cast YouTube to the TV we were watching in the lounge. I called her down so I could turn it off and realised that what she was watching was a walk-through video on how to switch off the safe search feature!
I am obviously fuming that a. She would go against my desire to keep her safe and b. Abuse my trust in her.
I have now password protected the app so she cannot use it and told her I am very very disappointed in her, that she is not an adult and as such cannot have free access to whatever she chooses, it is neither safe nor appropriate.
Have any of you experienced similar? How do you control access to inappropriate internet content for your tweens?
All advice gratefully received!
