A stealth logger would also work as you can install it without the user knowing. For this I would recommend Spector Pro, a little pricey but worth it. Can also be freely found on Newsgroups/Torrents.

Pricey? Pay me now or pay me later..... Easier to handle little issues before they become Big Events.

Whatever you use, make sure you find a way to block proxies as well. The kids I know are all signed up to email lists, or facebook groups that will give them the latest and greatest proxy before their school blocks it. That seems to be a moving target since new proxies are constantly becoming available. K9 continually updates their list to try and stay on top of that. Hopefully if your kid finds one that works, it won't be good for long.

Thats why I recommend a full fledged protection suite. The better ones will allow for white and black lists. That is what you are paying for. Someone trying to hand manage and who isn't up on the work arounds will just piss the child off into realling sneaking around. Damn hard for them to be on website XYZ if the PC is sitting in the living room.....
