Clear safari browser history

My daughter clicked a link in a SMS and it took her to an offensive website. We cannot seem to be able to clear her browser history to remove the website from being in her history. How do you clear that? We have restrictions on her phone as she is a minor. She is using an iPhone 5.

Hi wo3207,

You can follow the next couple of steps to help sort out your problem:

Settings
Scroll down to Safari.
Within the Safari section, in Settings, scroll down to "Clear History and Website Data".
After taping on that, just confirm the action and the history and website data will be deleted.

Stay safe.
