Recently MYSPACE has been all over the news about CHILD MOLESTERS, RAPISTS, MURDERERS, ETC. "posing as" young people to PREY upon VULNERABLE young people. The pictures you see on MYSPACE may NOT BE REAL!! Some of these predators caught have actually posed as teenagers(boys and girls) and were, in fact, middle-aged /old men with criminal records for CHILD ABUSE.
YOUNG PEOPLE, PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! don't believe everything and everyone you hear on the internet!!!!

In my opinion, you have no reason to believe anyone is who they say they are on the internet, until you have proof, and kids should be told this. Like you say you are a 29 year old fun-loving female, but you could be a 50 year old male FBI agent.

I think you're over-estimating the problem. It isnt a kiddie-recruitment site at all.
Over-generalizing a few cases to 90 million users doesn't work. Plus the kids that got hurt gave out information on their own will and lied about their age. It's a parents responsibilitys that the tools and gifts of the internet dont get abused.
If a kid if stupid enough to give their phone number, address and class schedule out to a guy obviously trying to sleep with them they deserve it.
Don't try and take a few isolated incidents to the entire community. Thats called steroetyping and is several logical fallacies.

I have a Myspace and have had some request for friends that just turned out to be links to porn sites and the such. Other than that, I use it to make new friends and keep in touch with old friends.
