[citw150] Re: CITW 150 L3 Q5

I watched that show too.  Can you believe people are trying to "get" a 13 years 
old.  But think about it in the other way, we all use chatting in anyhow 
anyway, so it helps communication in a good way also.
   
  I think it's the problem of people's moral thinking.  In that TV show, most 
of the people know that the girl is not 18 yet, but they still went to her 
house, I don't think it has 100% to do with the blogging or chatting.  I think 
the best way to stop illegal chatting is to use our driver's licene # to verify 
the age on certain website or chatting tool.

  I chose the issue of the so called blogging or chatting. I have recently 
watched a show that hit very hard home. It is about this web site called 
myspace.com, now i know if you are above 18 its not a big deal because you are 
considered an adult. But this report i watch on 60 minutes was about online 
predators preying on young boys and girls who put there profiles and pictures 
on the internet thinking that its just for fun. Wel 60 minutes caught 5 or 6 
men in one night who actually were convicted sex offenders to respond and come 
over to a boys (or so they thought) house. This is really scary for me because 
my girlfriends sister used that site along with all of her firends. And they 
all had pictures and profiles of themselves on it, not only are they too young 
to really understand the concept of the situation, but they are still very 
impressionable so they could be talking to someone who they thought was their 
friend whom they met online but it could be a 54 year old sex off
 en der
 waiting for an opportunity to strike. I taped the program that night and 
showed it to her and 2 of her friends. The i watched them immediatley go on 
that site and delete everything. It mad me feel a little better knowing that, 
that is one less way for sick people to get tp these 3 young girls, but there 
are still so many out there. Parents please, if you know you child has 
something on myspace.com check the web site out thoughouly and you will be 
suprised what your child has access to in terms of pictures, chatting and so 
forth. Check this website out if you want to find out more.
