Last week's ruling puts responsibility for determining what children may see on the Internet squarely in the hands of parents and teachers. Several software products, including SurfWatch, Cyber Patrol and Net Nanny, allow adults to screen content on their home PCs, while most of the large online providers offer built-in "parental controls" or free screening software.

While Jessica was mostly raised in Massachusetts, she lived in Pescadero, California, a tiny onetime fishing village where old dogs lazily patrol the streets because there is no traffic. It was 25 miles to Jessica's father's home in suburban San Mateo County, where he worked as a corporate consultant and lived with his current wife. Jessica and her mother lived in a house without television, which explains why Jessica's mother...
