    You have a few choices:

    1) Rely on software which is fallible, lets pR0n through while blocking other (no-pR0n) sites, and generally serves to drain your wallet for a false sense of security.
    Such software is also easily circumvented by a tech-savvy kid, thus rendering it even more useless.

    2) Shoulder-surf and monitor them directly.
    Well, this leads to resentment and trust issues. Chances are that they will just withdraw from you and build a wall around themselves. Might make things a little tough later on in life.

    3) Lay down the law. Tell them that they can surf, but if you find pR0n on the PC then they aren't using the PC at home.
    Of course, then they just use their cell-phones or their friend's computers...

    4) Raise them in a way that they will have little/no interest in pR0n in the first place.
    Hard to do with teenagers, but it *can* be done. If you can get them to treat women as people instead of sex objects, then they will wind up better people overall regardless of whether they ever surf the 'net.

    I would recommend you not censor your child's access to the world and answer them honestly when they ask questions about it. It is often not a desire to protect the child, but a desire to save the parent from an uncomfortable situation, which causes a parent to keep their child from reality.

    A lot of this software doesn't work as well as it should.
