OT: MySpace page...

[Black_Knyght]

Fyron's dead on the numbers there. My son is 14, and has a MySpace page of his own. He has a small core-group of local friends he chats with and that's it. If he gets a Friend Request from someone he doesn't know he either deletes them outright or shows them to me. I have the password and log-on info, and periodically check it anyway. But, because of the safeguards MySpace has in place it's actually been pretty safe bet overall.

All anyone has to worry about is getting into a conversation with a complete stranger that leads somewhere unhealthy. The same concern ANYONE at ANY age has, if they're careless and stupid.The safeguards for kids have gotten tighter, and MySpace is on top of things. And just a little FYI, places like Yahoo and MSN personals have had the same number of problems, they're just not as widely known because they're not as popular with kids as MySpace.

One thing the modern world has to learn is that the phrase 'perfectly safe' is most likely one of the few true impossibilities - Either that or so close it makes no difference.
