Hello everyone,
My first post here (hopefully in the correct section) as I have a difficult problem.
We are an adult household, but my son (age 42) has been diagnosed autistic with moderate learning difficulties.
We are trying to teach him the ways of the world, with a view to setting him up in his own (supported) flat.
As the web is an integral part of modern living, we are considering giving him internet access, but we are concerned that he might accidentally click on illegal pornography websites and get into trouble.
After doing a bit of research, I'm encouraged that our broadband provider BT use a system called Cleanfeed to make these inaccessable.
Does anyone have experience of this, please?
Can we let him loose, secure in the knowledge that if he clicks on these (possibly several times) that the worse that can happen is that he'll see a warning message.
The last thing we want is a visit from the boys in blue!
Many thanks for any assistance.
Worried Parent.
PS: I realise that "BT Family Protection" software is available, but we are trying to treat our son as an adult.
Because it's designed to protect children, it blocks ALL pornography, not just the illegal sites.
If he is to learn the ways of the world, my son (at 42 years old) needs to be able to access anything legal.
I may not approve, but it would be wrong to try to impose my 1950's values on someone who will probably be living in the second half of the 21st century!
