It is not difficult to set up an account for children and use a bit of software to only permit access to "parental approved" web sites. I have a friend who did this and it worked well and was easy to set up. They simply created a restricted account on their computer that did not permit any software to be installed period (prevents the malicious code concern). and they installed some software (forgot the name, not expensive) that only permitted web access to approved sites. Of course, they could have set it up otherwise, and had a blacklist instead of a whitelist; but they wanted to be very restrictive.
This is easy to set up even with minimal computer skills.
