Why is it when my daughter asks for boys without a shirt that she gets
gay boys having sex?  I don't really think that your server is
properly screening what she is saying.  My computer perposly screens
out that kind of trash but when she searches for shirtless boys then
this site comes up.  Also she looks up boys in bathing suits or boys
swimming but you can't find and results?

Hello Robin,

It sounds like you don't have Safe Search turned on in your Google
preferences:

"SafeSearch Filtering

Many Google users prefer not to have adult sites included in their
search results. Google's SafeSearch screens for sites that contain
pornography and explicit sexual content and eliminates them from
search results. While no filter is 100% accurate, Google's filter uses
advanced proprietary technology that checks keywords and phrases, URLs
and Open Directory categories.

By default, moderate filtering is set to exclude most explicit images
from Google Image Search results. To apply Google's SafeSearch
filtering to both web search and image search results, select the
strict filtering option on the web search preferences page and save
your preferences. This will activate stricter filtering of images, as
well as filtering of adult content in regular Google search results.
To turn off filtering completely, select the "do not filter..."
option. The filtering option you select on the Preferences page will
remain on until you change and resave your preferences. You can also
adjust your SafeSearch settings on the Advanced Search or the Advanced
Image Search pages on a per search basis.

Google strives to keep the filtering information as current and
comprehensive as possible through continual crawling of the Web and by
incorporating updates from user suggestions. If you find sites that
contain offensive content in your results, even with SafeSearch
activated, please send an email with the site's URL to
safesearch@google.com and we will investigate it."

To turn on Safe Search:

://www.google.com/preferences

Scroll to SafeSearch filtering, and select "Use strict filtering
(Filter both explicit text and explicit images)".

Then click the "Save Preferences" button.  Close your browser, then
restart it to ensure that the changes take effect.

If she's searching specifically for shirtless boys, she need only
enter "shirtless boys" (with quotation marks) to find myriad pages.  I
found a G-rated one in the first page of search results:

Surfrider's Gallery of Gorgeous Guys

Hope that helps!
