You can give it a list of websites that you will allow the account to access. The account will only be able to access the websites you put on the list. As for a program that will filter everything, I have no idea.
There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity! -

Sadly I am still on Tiger, and being poor, I have no compelling reason to upgrade.So I have shifted to using Firefox with a great free extension that does the trick without the tedium of adding individual whitelisted or blacklisted urls.

As Zane said, set up a user account for the family members.
With yourself logged in as Administrator, go to System Preferences>Accounts. Select the user name, click the
“Parental Controls” tab, and set up as you wish. You cannot apply Parental Controls to an Administrator’s account.
