Methods and apparatus are provided for restricting end-user access to content Access of an end-user to content is restricted by receiving a request from the end-user to access the content; identifying and authorizing user associated with the end-user; providing an authorization message to the authorizing user, wherein the authorizing user is remote from a location of the end-user; and providing the end-user with access to the content if authorized by the authorizing user. For example, the end-user can be a child and the authorizing user can be an individual responsible for the child, such as a parent or guardian. In a further variation, the end-user can be an automated recording device and authorization request is responsive to an attempt by the recording device to record the content.
