I have a son who is on AOL instant messenger. I am worried about something going on with him that is wrong. Worried about his future.Is there a way that i can monitor what is being said on both side so it can be reviewed later instead of standing next to him.

I dont think &quot;spying&quot; on him will help, but there should be programs to log keystroke, but then again, you'd only see what he would type , I would have to look at the configuration of AIM , to remeber if it has a logging, feature, I know ICQ does, chances are, if he knows about it, he will probally delete logs, but as far as utilities to monitor, or restrict access to. I may be able to help out later tonight, give me an email if you would. I Can help you on the computer part of the situation. Oh btw do you have multiple computers in the home?

I do understand that &quot;spying&quot; is not the way to go and i do believe in a kids privacy, but with the situation at hand and in the past, it could prevent a problem or correct the way his future is going.
Better to try something instead of closing my eyes.

a worried and concerned parent.
