Kids download bad things, help?

I think we have turned this thread into a testimonial about what we think the poster should do to his kid, rather than what his question was. I'm sure he will do what it takes to eventually make the child see the light. However, there have been some really good suggestions put forth.:)

Let's just wait and see what the OP says.

I'm just saying stomping on it is not the answer if it is an interest it would be better to redirect it. What I said is true, if that's the only puzzle you give him/her to solve that's basically what they are going to do.

Personally I would see if his little 'hacking' ability is a sign of an interest in computers and tech. If it is I would find a healthy outlet for that, and encourage that.
Steadily trying to block him like this is just going to be seen as a challenge, and if he's intelligent and has a interest in the subject, he will always find a way around it.

I agree!
