In a few easy steps you can set up and customize an age-appropriate experience for your child. From where they go on the Internet to whom they communicate with, Parental Controls helps make the online environment a safe and rewarding experience for your child.


Web Controls and Web Unlock



Web Controls give you the flexibility to decide which types of Web sites are appropriate for your child's age and maturity. No one knows your own kids better than you do. So if you want more control, you can use Web Unlock to customize the Web filters for your child.

Don't want your kids looking at certain Web sites while surfing outside AOL? You can block other Internet applications and prevent your kids from viewing inappropriate Web content on an external browser (like Microsoft® Internet Explorer) by downloading Internet Access Controls for your computer.

IM and Chat Controls

With IM Safety List, you decide who can send your kids instant messages. With chat controls, you can also limit them to visiting chat rooms that are 100 percent monitored. AOL monitors all KOL message boards and chat rooms 24 hours a day and removes any posts with inappropriate language or personal information.

E-Mail Controls

Tired of your kids getting e-mail from people they don't know? You can block mail from unknown or unwanted senders. AOL helps put an end to the barrage of junk e-mail messages and filters out spam that may contain inappropriate content, words or phrases.
