install linux on their computer and set up a local proxy software or dns server to whitelist only the sites you want her to visit (or just blacklist all the nasty sites you want)

5) and you hate yourself and your family.

6) Would rather not deal with the potential awkwardness of upbringing your kid properly.

Personally I'd just cue up 2 Girls 1 Cup and show it to them. Afterwards you can be sure they won't be looking for fucked up shit on the internet ever again.

For bonus points make sure you record their reaction.
