In my recent issue of Teen Vogue there was an article about how, more teens are looking for love online. On sites like match.com, friendster, craigslist. makeoutclub, myspace, etc.
QUOTE According to a September 2004 Dateline NBC report, one in five teens who chat or date online will be contacted by an online predator. As part of the show's investigation, a reporter and a team of volunteers created a fictional 14 year old Brooklyn girl who e-mailed with men in cyberspace. "She" eventually made plans to meet them for sex, In the course of a single afternoon more than eighteen men showed up at a house where they thought the young girl would be waiting alone for them. (Instead, they were greeted by Dateline reporters.) QUESTIONS TO GET STARTED: 1.)Should the minimum age to have an online personal be raised? 2.)Should parents have more control over their childs internet access? *Fell free to add anymore thoughts you have, beyond the two questions. |

raising the age limit. like many others said: they can just lie to get their way into sites. and i also agree that kids all say, " Oh, im not stupid, it will never happen to me." but they're wrong. any small detail on any website could attract an online predator.
definitely, parents should always pay attention to what their kids are doing. but not watching over them 24/7. but keep an eye on what they're doing. |
