Surely, these kids can only do it once! After that their access is revoked. I don't see that recurrence is a problem. Just don't allow 'offenders' computer time. Please tell me if this is gross over-simplification. I know that when a child at our place tried to look up some 'offensive' material (just once) he was caught, and then banned from accessing - full stop. Problem solved. Make sure everyone know's the rules. Make sure they know that their emails will be scanned. I'm all for privacy, but if a child was verbally bullying, you would listen in, then take appropriate action. Make no appologies - they WILL be scanned. Let me know if any of this is nonsense.
