is only truly helpful in addition to monitoring), or get intemet accessfrom a provider
that filters the internet for them. Perhapsthe most effective method involves regular
checking of internet history and backup files by ft someoneelse as well as frequent
(every 90 to 120 days)monitoring by meansof polygraphexaminations.
