Hey moms, keep an eye on your sons!

Imagine the situation of a mother wanting to report her child's activities to authorities.

The awkward "mother vs. son" scenario may happen next year as the city's Internet watchdog urges local mothers to help fight pornography and "vulgar" information online.

Determined to start the campaign from a grassroots level, the authorities said they will select a group of mothers to form a special censorship panel and help the authorities monitor websites and WAP content in the mothers' spare time, according to the government-funded Beijing Association of Online Media, which runs an illegal Internet information reporting hotline.
