Have you considered purchasing and installing a parental-control software on your home PC?  These work by blocking access to certain sites on the internet, and allow you to determine what Internet content enters your home.  A good one to check out is NetNanny: http://www.netnanny.com/products/home.  There are many other softwares out there as well, which might do the trick.  It would be well-worth it for you to invest in one of these softwares which block access to sites with content inappropriate for children, they are usually quite reasonably-priced in return for the service & peace of mind they offer.

Try a Google search using the following terms, to pull up links to other sites about cyber-control products:

Hope this helps you - good luck.
