I'm a MySpace user, and the things I see never cease to amaze me......more like disgust me at times.

My sister is 17, she's very mature, but still a minor and under the age of 18. On her friend list there are many men over the age of 20, and some even in their 30's. On the 1st, my sister is going to Washington D.C to spend a week with one of them. She's already met the guy and he seems nice, but still he's 23 and Washington D.C is far from here. Of course mom don't care, I've already tried to talk her out of it.

I'm concerned about the freedom MySpace allows with their users. It's almost impossible to monitor millions of users and their profiles. Tom, the MySpace maker, needs to hire a large amount of undercover users to help monitor everybody's profiles and chat rooms. If there was more monitoring then the crimes will reduce dramatically. Something has to be done, I think personally.

Now, I am a MySpace user as I said earlier and I don't feel the way I use MySpace is inappropriate. But if I was a mother to a teenager, I sure in the hell would not allow them to have a profile on MySpace. You may as well as put up an advertisement that says "I'm 16, and ready for you to manipulate and scam me".
