But parents have a perennial worry that their child might be viewing inappropriate sites or might be talking to people they should not be talking to online. For starters, parents should make sure that all computers in the house are located in a common area, like the living room. On the technical side, there are resources out there that can help restrict sites visited by your child. One useful site is ProtectKids.com, a site under the nonprofit Enough is Enough.

Chertoff remains persistent, though not clear on the details as they are considered classified information.
