    Speaking as a parent you'd be better off being open with him and asking him to show you his email and let him know that you can check his history. Secret surveillance just removes any trust and there are always ways around it.

    Appreciate where you are coming from but to many chances given so I need to go with what I think is right for my son and this is an option that I know has helped others.

    Oddly I can't find my thread in Parenting I did on how to set up monitoring.

    There are a few programs that can be used.
    You can also use free OpenDNS family filters but if your son is a little tech savvy he can easily remove that.

    But tbh, if you find something in an email and approach him with it he will just use another computer or his phone or something to continue.
