When my kids learn how to hack their way out of my network, they pretty much dersrve all the porn they can get at that point ha!
That's pretty much my plan for when I have kids. White list access and a router in a locked cupboard. My wife thinks I'm nuts.makes it easy to de-prioritise their traffic too so you can netflix, and download without them sucking all of the bandwith!

My eldest are already 10yr olds... theyre already curious about and investigating the web... teachers even have them writing blog posts in I.T class.

Imagine where we will be 10 years from now..
Just install some simple web monitoring software on the laptop.
Show him one or two reports of his use after a month or two, and hope a little bit of fear might stop him doing anything dodgy on "your" internet.
Your best bet is education and a conscience on his part. You wont stop him looking at porn through his teenage years.

A good but simple talk with him this morning, little bit about blocked sites but more concentrated about the people who use the internet to make friends with young children, by pretending to be some other young child then get then to photo themselves or meet them somewhere. Then do really nasty things to them then kill them. Then quickly pointed out the things on the news about young girls disappearing and being found dead.
Bit of shock and awe but it seems to have penetrated his rather naïve young skull.
Like another poster his school have started a blog thing. Not in agreement with that I'm afraid.
Think I'll have a word with his class teacher to see what they teach them with regards grooming etc

Easy one for you:
https://www.opendns.com/home-internet-security/
Change the DNS on your router (quite easy) and use open dns as well. Won't stop everything but will reduce what he is exposed to.

He was watching a pirated film and you've got it to grooming? What happened?! Bit of shock and awe but it seems to have penetrated his rather naïve young skull.

I hope this is taken the right way, but he and his school seem way ahead of where you're at with internet use, and if you want to have some kind of a handle on it, you're going to do that better by taking more in than trying to stop things. He'll find a way around whatever it is you dont like the sounds of, and mostly, it wont be from a pirated film on youtube. It's better to educate than block. The blocking comes when inspite of all the education and learning he's got, he still does stuff that's questionable.
I think jumping from 'and this is Google....' to 'and here's what happens when you search wrong, PEOPLE DIE' is a bit of a stretch. FUD is never a good thing.
At 18 our college thought they were smart by putting a web filter in the system. That thing used to block everything you could think of. I guess they didn't think that the "software engineering" students would decide to no longer put up with that and 2 weeks later we got round it using an 0day.
They bought the appliance, paid someone to set it up and then never updated it
That taught me a lot about how silly sysadmins are in big facilities!

2 weeks? A bit slow They bought the appliance, paid someone to set it up and then never updated it

All the ISP blocks are pointless, a few seconds and a free VPN later and he can watch what he wants.
Well with an appliance he wouldn't be able to connect to a VPN (if there is no wifi)
The easiest way for kids these days is to crack the WPA key of neighbours wifi with a non-install linux distro and then just use those credentials on their normal PC or laptop or tablet.
There are distros out there made just for this purpose that will scan and crack automatically.
This could be worse potentially than letting him have unrestricted access over your network.
