Family Safety doesn’t work on my New Dell Inspiron with Windows 8

I recently purchased a new Dell Inspiron Laptop. The Family Safety web filter and monitoring does not work at all. I have been through multiple threads here regarding similar issues and have tried all the suggested solutions. None of them work at all. I have my child set to only access the allowed sites. I log in as him and I can access any site I want. I blocked a certain site, just to see if that would work, nope, I could still access it. When I look at his monitoring report all I see is that he viewed msn.com even though I used his account myself to access a variety of other sites. I have deleted him, made him a local account, connected him to a microsoft account, changed the settings locally, changed them on the family safety website, nothing matters. I am at the point where I think the whole thing is bologna. Someone, please, prove me wrong, cause I am desperate for a way to protect my child without keeping him living in the dark ages as he says, by not allowing him internet access at all.
