Seems like the moms can't control their own kids so they want a phone company to do it for them.

Is this mumsnet who were too busy arguing over a fictional psychotic character in a tv soap rather than taking care of their children?

What's wrong with their parents blocking their computer and phone at homework time? Or are parents now resolved to all responsibility and there has to be legislation to control their kids?

Mumsnet... honestly... someone give those bloody women something to do.

Clever for business possibly. But could be a terrible idea because the sole USP of blocking internet isn't something masses have been demanding. Also what if an adult needed to use one of those sites in an emergency and would either have to call the provider or wait for the block to be over.

But this is a great problem nowadays, children aren't getting disciplined properly and parents are too reliant on other people to do the work for them. How will children learn to avoid distractions when they have higher education like university they wont know how to unless someone forces them too.

Disagree totally with this idea.

I think there should be a similar function for mumsnet, one that blocks them from going on the site, then maybe they could use their time to make their kids do their homework, just a thought :3

Can't these useless Mums just unplug the internet for 2 hours whilst the children do their homework. Sounds like they need a bit of educating themselves.

You avoided the whole point of my post. Proxies can be used to bypass filters. Its not hard, all you have to do is Google it. Its pathetic that parents can't be assed to monitor their kids activities on the PC themselves so they have to get the phone company to do it.

They can just a have one user account on the thing and not let the kids know the password. Simple as. No need for these stupid ass, waste of money filters that'll more often than not annoy rather than help people.

Nobody even uses them unless they are made to at school.
Doing homework these days = Copy and paste wikipedia.

Anyway there is still always a way around it. Just go on internet on your mobile if you want facebook.

Talk Talk and pushy mums are so stupid to think they can out smart teenagers.
