MORE FEEDBACK.... AND MORE TERROR
We've been talking about this all week...and we're turning up the heat: More and more listeners are writing and calling with their horror stories. I'm not advocating censorship. I am strongly suggesting that parent find out what their kids might be doing on this meeting place on the web. MySpace.com is the hottest site for internet communication, but too many underage kids are finding ways to beat the system and get into the mix. Too much personal information is revealed, making it one-stop shopping for sex offenders... not to mention increasing the chances of being a victim of identity theft.
First and foremost, parents need to know what's going on in the world of MySpace.com. Then they must be more involved and control the activities of their children to keep them safe on the internet. How? Plenty of great tips on www.protectkids.com But MySpace.com also needs to improve their system, adding tougher age verification systems. Here's email from another concerned mother (more below.. scroll down the Blog):
"MySpace is a concern for me as well. I just found out yesterday that my 13 year old daughter was registered for this site. So I was shocked when I heard it mentioned today. There is way too much information in this site. It is very easy for predetors to become "friends" and gain these kids trust then talk them into meeting somewhere. I also found out about another site call Hi5.com. I think this site is even worse. There were 37 year old men in her network. I had a long talk with my daugher and let her know the dangers in sites like this. I then cancelled her email address as well as cancelled here accounts to both of those sites. Parents should be very concerned with these kinds of sites because kids are too trusting and think that when they talk about what city they live in, what school they go to and what they like to, that they're just having conversations. I do not plan on allowing my daughter to have an email account again until she is much older. I have learned from my mistake before something happened. I hope other parents will learn before something happens to their child."
TERRORISTS WORK ON THE WEEKENDS, TOO: Today's New Delhi blasts are a grim reminder for those who think we can "reason" with terrorist thugs. The Jihadists have their goals set on lots of territory in the region. BTW: Isn't it amazing how officials are often relucant to call intentional bombings "terror"... at least initially...as if they don't want to hurt the feelings of some groups. Ah, "self esteem" for Al Qaeda & Company!
