My 14 year old daughter wants so much to come on here and ask and answer questions, but once I saw how much sexual talk was on here, I first told her no. Then, I decided that I would write down all of the areas that should be safe, like food for example, and let her go into those areas only. Today, I went to the food section and there was a question that got answered in a sexual way, so I had to tell her she is not allowed on here unless I supervise the question, and make sure the answers are clean. I told her I would come on to ask if there is some sort of filter on here that will keep those things from coming up...which would allow her more freedom. I have checked my settings on my comp, but it doesn't seem to filter these things out. If any of you know a way to filter this talk through this site...PLEASE let me know. She is a great kid and I trust her completely, but reading those sort of things would be bad for her. Thanks.

First of all, I would like to say thank you so much to each of you who answered my question kindly and seemed to realize I have my daughter's best interest at heart. For those of you who tried to say that she is going to hear this anyway, you are right in that I can't protect her if one of her friends says something that I don't know about, but the dif is., that I DO know about this, and I would be remiss in just closing my eyes to it. I don't work that way, and my daughter is a well adjusted teen and I am just trying to help her to stay that way. X rated material isn't good for her at all. On some level, you all must know that. I love the lady who asked a question for my daughter..thanks so much..I thought that was really great! Thanks also to those of you who complemented my parenting. I am trying to do what's best without restricting her too much...there are all different views out there on what is too much. Thanks again everyone.

Well let her come on and ask then....
Truth is if you are really serious or trying to make yourself as an excuse of a goody parent then you will not let her come here to talk. Because here is everyone and anyone.
Sorry but the internet is no place for not seeing sex and bad behaviour and if you thought it maybe then you are terribly naive.
I can type pretty much what I like if I wanted too and get pass the filters and I wouldn't anyway but what to stop anyone else?
why not get her to meet real people instead where you can check them out.
Besides what goes on in school she is probably more street aware than you!

Well Mom, I don't really see a satisfactory conclusion except to continue exactly what you're continuing to do right now. You're taking the time to supervise your daughter where many others have failed.
I know that their are questions here she love to answer. There are alot of great questions here. Alot of kids asking this months exam questions and then the just plain dopes.
So...you seem to enjoy it so set aside time the two of you can do this together. Its superb that you trust her. Of course, she's earned it by acting responsible and being raised right.
So that's the best I can do for you.
Hey...here's a food question for your daughter. I'm an amatuer gourmet cook. But I'm a lousy baker. Why do I need cut chilled butter for a pie crust? Why can't I just use room temperature or my failed experience with adding melted butter? Serious answers only kid.

you can create an account for her be back in a min.
When you create a Yahoo! Family Account and add your child to the account, you certify that you are at least 18 years old and that you are the legal guardian of the child/children listed on the Yahoo! Family Account. By adding a child to your Yahoo! Family Account, you also give your child permission to access many areas of the Service, including, email, message boards and instant messaging (among others). Please remember that the Service is designed to appeal to a broad audience. Accordingly, as the legal guardian, it is your responsibility to determine whether any of the Service areas and/or Content (as defined in Section 6 below) are appropriate for your child.
Is on terms and conditions I don't know for sure how that works here in Q&A, but maybe you want to check it out!
All you have to do go to the top of the page my account term and cond is at the bottom of it, and let me congratulate you for being a very good mom, she is a bless child.

Gee, there should be a filter. There are so many people from sex obsessed to truly sick posting questions on here, it seems the Yahoo staff can't keep up with them. Good for you for being a caring parent. I worry about what all the kids on here are being exposed to.

No filter she will see the stupidity of people, the ignorance, the hatred of others etc. Not really a place for her unless you're right there to supervise. Good luck.

You can report rude and vulgar posts, but there isn't a filter. I think if she is fourteen and going into high school, she is going to run into that type of stuff anyway. I seems to me that you are raising her right, so as long as she isn't on here 24/7 it probably won't sway her much.

i dont know but i'm 14 and i use it all the time...i doubt very much she will be that affected by whats on here. If you trust her enough you shouldnt be bothered. And if she is as good of a kid as you say then she wouldnt look at those questions like i dont. Give her a chance.

your wayyyy to overprotective....you were 14 once you know how it was and how you felt. give her a little freedom instead on watching everymove she makes...atleast shes not gonna go having sex or get pregnant through yahoo answers....chances are she already knows what most of the stuff said on here is anyway so why protect her from things she already knows about. if you truley trust her you wont be worried about her seeing and making sexual comments

I really don't think there is. But here's the bad news, your 14 year old daughter is probably allready having sex, drinking, and doing some form of drugs

NO..... here you get it RAW!!!!
I get disgusted too at reading some of these questions and the anwers..... it is not for unsupervised children even though there are many on here.
Nice to see a parent that is actually concerned about what her child is viewing and reading.
