I don't know a whole lot about MYSPACE.com... So I have little to say on this topic... I just did an online search and there are programs for parents to monitor their children's online activities..... is one way to help parents....

After reading this thread I am wondering if we are putting too much blame on the parents... Teens as I recall when my kids were teens, "They know it all".. And even when parents do have values set in their home, it is not guaranteed the kids will follow... In my case, there were never drugs or alcohol in our home... But my son when a teen got into both drugs and drinking. Anyway, a bad trip on drugs scared my son straight.. He never touched them again...

I think most parents try, I know I did.. Teens don't know what they are doing.... The TOTAL blame I feel, of course is the predators... Seems predators have been around since the beginning of time....... It is NOW time they are stopped..... I feel harsher punishments for predators is called for... If we can eliminate the predators, we all would be a lot safer.... Sad to think we have to live our lives looking over our shoulders...... The Internet is a great place to catch these jerks.........Lets catch them... I don't care how they are caught, or what methods are used, just get themmmmmmm.. get them allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll...

You know a lot of folks are shocked this kind of stuff happens... Thank GOD people /victims are NOW talking... In the past, folks kept this kind of thing hush hush..so few only knew this stuff happened, just the predator and victim... victims were ashamed or afraid to talk.... now they are talking and exposing the predators...Predators can no longer get away with it......it is about time........
