How about, and please stop me if this idea is too radical, instead of watching what your child does 24/7 you sit with them through the initial learning curve of their internet usage. How about you teach them why you feel that certain sites are inappropriate for them, and explain to them what it is your objection is about.
I know of a 13 year old whose parents have brought him up this way, and when by accidently clicking on a banner one day, the child got a porn site, he understood what the site was, and simply clicked the back button. His parents check the history ont eh comptuer reguarly to confirm that he's not purposefully looking at sites that they dissapprove of. On the occasion that one of his freinds suggested that they look at some, his parents sat him down and asked him why he wanted to look at such things. They explained the reasons for porn (self gratification) and that they did not approve.
Teaching your children about life is a far better way of stopping them from doing inappropriate things because any child who is banned from something will always become interested in the things that are banned.
Educate your child, don't keep them ill-informed in the hope that they will never fall into a trap somewhere.
You need MS Visual C++, XBox Full Development Kit (Includes cusom XBox that can play burnt CD's) Signing your life away to a Micorosft Developmnet License.
Microsoft are doing the same thing as Nintendo do, they are only allowing self published games, no game can be published by someone who hasn't signed up to the development agreements.
Incidently you can get a Software developmnet kit, which allows you to run a XBox emulator on your PC basically, and test your games without having to burn them onto CD and crash the nice XBox.
