Norton, the computer security software giant, released to the public a list of search terms by age group.  What the kids are searching for is something parents need to both question and assure that their own children aren’t searching for anything similar.

While many aren’t anything that should cause concern things like youtube and myspace, among the result are some decidedly ‘adult’ terms.  Below is the top ten (by age-group), and the list continues past that.

This is quite alarming, even if you aren’t an alarmist. 

Is there cause for concern?  While very few will argue that kids shouldn’t know about this kind of thing, many also argue that parents need to do more to protect their children- especially online.  Keeping the home computer in a public place,and limiting access to more mobile devices could help. 

While with the older set, and all school aged kids need access to computers, keep it within the parents view can help curb any inappropriate searches.
