According to a survey* from BroadbandChoices.co.uk, the answer is a resounding 'No.' The research found that 84% of parents across the UK said they rate verbal agreement with their children as their number one way of monitoring online activity.
The poll also asked children aged 11-16 what they spent the most time doing online during the school holidays which revealed that 48% download music, 45% use chat rooms to make new friends online and 40% use social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace.
