There was a recent local murder that's getting tons of attention because the couple met on this site. Tons of local kids from private, Catholic, and public high schools have profiles that share entirely too much information, and inappropriate information. The profile questions are so wrong. They ask the kids if they've had sex, drink, do drugs, are bi, etc., etc. And the kids are dumb enough to answer them. They post all kinds of pictures and can correspond with anyone on the site. Please ask the young loved ones in your lives if they are aware of this site.

I would not have been happy if my kids had been on a board like that, although it's possible they could have been and I never knew. One of the very real dangers of this sort of thing is that often those who post there are not who or what they claim to be. Or so I've been told.

Yesterday they arrested a pedophile from MA in a town not far from here when he attempted to keep an assignation with a teenage girl, who turned out to be a very male undercover cop. They said it wasn't the first time this guy had gone after young girls. At least this one had a positive outcome!

When she was visiting me, she would log on and chat, etc. She just turned 18 so who can do anything about it? She's legal. I think it was originally created for a way to have young people connect but leave it to the perverts to ruin everything.

My kids use it too, but they are 16,18,20 and 24, so I don't think they would be in danger. All are boys, except for the 24 year old. I'd watch the younger ones though,especially girls, no matter where they go on the net.

Wouldn't it be ideal if there was a place for youth to go and know for certain that there was no danger and that everyone was precisely who they said they were? I'm sure that's what the myspace people intended. What a shame.
