Watching cbs news and they have just said that myspace have discovered 29,000 registered sex offenders on mytspace using their real names.

that is very very worrying and disturbing.

sorry goody.did i say i was ONLY talking about teenage girls??
no.
you assume and presume again.
i mentioned a girl on holiday,hau mentioned her daughter.
i mention teenagers not any particular sex.
do you assume guys wont go on there pretending to be young girls to get young boys??
i never ever mentioned sex of children as specifically male or female.
"You make it clear that you seem to think you are the perfect parent legend. "
your drinking tonight seems to have affecyted not only your judgement but has added a rather nasty side to your posts.
have i offended a sex offender you know?
because your attitude towards me in this post is rather nasty.
i seem to think im a perfect parent.dont you think you are?
do you think youre a bad parent?what a stupid thing you just said goody.
well for the record i seem to think its not a good idea to let teenagers use a pc unsupervised on sites like myspace.
if thats wrong then fair enough.
but your attitude is way wrong i suggest a black coffee the drinks obviously affecting you.

Why cant you have someone disagree with you without all this?
I am surely allowed to use teenage girls an example.
You didnt say unsupervised so may I suggest your drinking has effected your memory as you said "Keep your kids off it"
NO NO NO NO NO..... to me as a teenager I would have heard, "well it must be good, Ill do it in secret"

im sorry goody but your pathetic snidey dig at me about thinking i was the perfect parent was as i said .
pathetic.
youre surely better than that.
kids in plural as im talking to the general populous of ab.
or do they only have 1 kid?
obviously not.
theres no drink affecting me goody.
im not the one commenting on parenting it was you.
i was talking after watching a news story.
they suggest supervision.
duhhhhhh
also you can only join myspace legally if youre 14 or over.
again you have a go for the sake of it.
if you dont agree or like my posts why come pon to have a dig at me.
it really is getting pathetic.
my point is all those sex offenders not counting those unknown.
would you let your kid play in a park alone if you were told sex offenders hung about there SOMETIMES?or would you say its ok as theyre not always there and your kids sensible.
its a parents job to watch them ffs.

heres a video how to protect your kids online

the only sure way to protect kids in this instance is by realistically educating them of the dangers
saying no, no, no, no and banning things just simply doesn't work - show me one thing that was ever banned theat people just stopped using? and i will show you hundreds that became mor epowerful because of the ban.
its a cliche that you always want what you cannot have - and its true in many circumstances - kids will just 'go underground' and do it in secret.
my dad was nightmare - searched through our bins, went through everything, followed us, listened at doors etc etc - all we did was become experts in hiding it and skilled in getting away with things....goody ios right about that - its what kids do.
there are a ways of ''banning'' something, and the success lies in convincing the kids that it is a good plan, not just saying 'no', with no explanation.
myspace is generally safe, but like with anything there are always a some who abuse it - teach your kids the warning signs, what to look out for, what words and phrases are innaproppriate, not to believe everything they read and explain they these people are necessarily who they say they are, and that anyone who wants to meet a child is likely not a good person - but say it in a way they can understand, not all scaremongering and fear of god stuff - doesn't work...

Why is it when someone disagrees with you legend you fly off the handle? people are allowed a viewpoint, maybe you spend a bit too much time on here? it seems to put you in a bad mood so perhaps you could enjoy the sun of Tenerife, i know if i lived there i wouldn't be spending all my free time on here, learn to relax, do they do rescue remedy over there?
It does sometimes rather put you off posting in what could be an educational thread when you answer and are told 'back to the point'..I merely was agreeing and adding another dimension by elaborating and using my experience of Bebo as a an example.
I agree in the main that you shouldnt and cant wrap your kids in cotton wool -but you have to remain vigilant albeit surruptisiously.I think educating them as someone said is the best idea -they should never IMO be under illusions that life should be viewed through rose tinted specs.
Even before PCs therefore the internet -I was groomed and abused by a paeodo -unfortunately I had no idea at the time so it continued.
My daughter because I had spoken to her in terms she could understand we were able to avert a paedo trying to lure her out her bedroom.He was found guilty.
I am not deviating Legend -merely stating that its everywhere and really parents have a duty to warn their children of the adult content they are posting on the internet and the consequences.As I said its a paedos paradise.

Legend you can dish it out but cant take it. You were exceptionally rude about me and how I was with my children on several occasions. Saying a lot worse than "you seem to think you are the perfect parent".
As it happens, no I dont think I am the perfect parent at all. So it wasnt a stupid thing to say,. Thee may have well been suggesting supervision and no one even me contradicted that, you said "keep your kids off it."

oh i see goody.
so i saidsomething that annoyed you ages ago and you thought youd bring it into another arguement rather than give an answer on the p�st??
its quite simple there are a lot of know sex offenders on myspace , over 29,000 in america alone .
thats a solid fact.
now if you were to think how amny otheres then it would be quite scary letting your kids online without supervision.
if you cant or dont supervise them then surely the better option is to remove the internet from the equation.
treefrog theres very little sun , in fact none at 1 am in the morning.
i do manage to hold down a job .
but thanks for your advice : -)
