Set Up Parental Controls on Your Mac

Parental Controls - Logs

With Parental Control logs, you can keep track of websites visited, applications used, and iChat contacts

The Mac's Parental Controls feature maintains an activity log that can help you keep track of how a managed user is using the computer. You can see which web sites were visited, which web sites were blocked, and which applications were used, as well as view any instant messages that were exchanged.
