My email to Google Search today ...
I use both K9 web protection on my son's computer and Open DNS at the router level. This pretty much does the trick for blocking and filtering harmful content except that pornographic images still come through on Google Search. These are images that you have indexed and come from the Google servers which are deemed okay. Links to the original sites are blocked which is good although more needs to be done to block even the indexed photos from the Google Server. K9 web protection does have a feature that locks the family filter search as "on" in Google which is wonderful. But now that Google has made this feature available in Youtube, videos are getting blocked that are impossible to unblock without opening up all of Google. Any help you can provide is great ..

Missouri bans students and teachers from being Facebook friends
Teachers can be friendly with their students, but they can’t be their friends, at least when it comes to social networks such as Facebook. State Governor Jay Nixon has signed Senate Bill 54, which goes into effect on August 28, 2011 in the state of Missouri. In other words, later this month it will be illegal for students and teachers to be friends online, according to KSPR. Senate Bill 54 is dubbed the Amy Hestir Student Protection Act, which aims to fight inappropriate contact between students and teachers, including protecting children from sexual misconduct by their educators. It is named after a Missouri public school student who was repeatedly molested by a teacher several decades ago. The Bill strengthens rules against schools that fail to report sexual abuse of students by employees, but at the same time it also adds other requirements, such as the social networking component.
