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. |

QUESTIONS TO GET STARTED:
1.)Should the minimum age to have an online personal be raised? No because people lie, plus the pressure from neighboring peers and humans will most likely cuase them to "check out" the stuff to. People would probably lie anyway, only some parents would care and check for them in the first place. 2.)Should parents have more control over their childs internet access? Yes they should 100%. Sadly thats only reality in some households. |
