Parents are keen to ensure that their offspring don't access inappropriate material on the web and for that reason most security software providers now offer parental control products, whether as a standalone product or part of an internet security package.
In a study commissioned for a German magazine, AV-Comparatives has looked at the leading products for Windows and mobile platforms to assess which are the most effective.
There is of course no universal standard for what is acceptable content and as the report points out, "Parents need to talk to their children about the potentially dangerous and upsetting things in life, whether or not they use parental control software". It also stresses that the software is only effective if it’s properly configured. betanews/ Article/ http://betanews.com/2014/10/01/just-how-effective-are-parental-control-products/
