I would recommend www.nick.com and www.nickjr.com depending on the age of
the children. The other thing Grandma can do (depending on where y'all
live) is to go to the local technical or community college and see if they
have an Introduction to Computers for the community.
Another idea would be to install a firewall, and block those sites. For
this I would recommend Outpost by Agnitum.
If you need more ideas I got some, just contact me off list.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Off Topic- Safe websites?
Hello. This is off topic, but I would appreciate help off list please.
Our neighbor next door knows very little about the Internet. She baby sits
four grand kids and they take advantage of her when she catches them at a
web site most parents would object to. When they tell her that's all they
can go to on the Internet, she does not know enough to take them to another
site, and fearful she will "mess up" her son's computer. The boy found a
site displaying way-worse than Playboy type pictures, and she thought about
just pulling the cord but they told her that would cause the computer to
"die permanently" and she bought it.
Can anyone volunteer some sites that are "parent approved" please? She
knows how to type a URL- I have showed her that. Please put "Safe kids
sites" in the subject field when you write. I don't have kids yet, so I
don't know what is out there.
Thanks very much for your time.
Robert
