A tip for parents (and others, I guess)

If you're eager for your children to hide things from you, discipline them without asking them about things first. Works like a charm. They'll never come to you with anything.

Kick out your daughter's boyfriend for something in a search history? Guess who's gonna go out and learn how to clear search histories?

Lol, I am not trying to argue with him, just curious. It's always easy for those who don't have to suggest ways in which parents ("or others") could do something different.

so so very true.

however, in this house, there is no deleting history, LMAO. My kid was so dumb to actually think their dad wouldn't know how to fetch it. bone head, she knows better!

I installed Norton 360 with parental controls... even if they delete the history, Norton tracks their every move for me.

So you think they don't know how to remove it site by site? You nuke the whole thing and it's obvious it's been tampered with.

Kids lie. Sometimes 'asking' them isn't enough.

Unless they're running Linux from a thumbdrive.

Perfectly said. Thank you!

Yes kids sometimes lie, but they tell the truth too. Also, when you do something like say, banning a boyfriend, that thing often becomes the forbidden fruit. You'd be better off discussing why certain choices are bad ones (like trying to make meth).

yeah, there are ways around that as well. However, unless my daughter can figure out what the husband's root password is... she is SOL

I agree it's a lot harder to know what does work, but some things are pretty easy to see as bad ideas.

So, what's the tip?

Act like a warden and your kids will learn to act like criminals.

My kids knew how to clear search histories at age 10 or so, even before I knew of search histories.

index.dat - google for a free reader. Also, don't give kids administrative access. Set up a generic user for them and disable their ability to clear history in the registry and disable their ability to edit the registry. You can google that too.
