You would probably be better off talking to him, and putting the computer in

I use Dansguardian
For example, I want to block the BBC websites wholesale or anything with
the words Microsoft, MSN or Hotmail in the URL - you get the idea - but

close to blocking
Move the computer into the living room. It treats the kid like a
semi-responsible person (which is one definition of a kid) and it admits
to him you know you know you can't win all the time.
