Pervert jailed for preying on young girls - A SEX menace who used the internet to prey on teenage girls was behind bars last night.

MySpace Leads Channel 4 To Some Teens' Homes - Parents Urged To Check Kids' Web Pages
From teens running away, to sexual predators on the prowl, most people have heard of some of the dangers that have been linked to popular networking Web site MySpace.
While some youngsters might think they're not posting much personal information, Channel 4 reporter Laura Mazzeo learned a startling reality -- it doesn't take much to learn who is behind the profile and where to find that person.
Mazzeo spent just a few hours looking at Web pages open to anyone on MySpace. She reported all she needed was a full name and a hometown to find some local teens.

This is just scary.

MySpace and Skype have just announced a new instant message service called MySpaceIM. This new instant messenger client will allow MySpace users to talk directly with other users. If these internet predators can successfully groom your children using just a keyboard, think of what they will be able to accomplish with direct voice communication. MySpaceIM with Skype will enable millions of users to place free internet Skype calls to other MySpace or Skype users.

The joining of MySpace and Skype will allow Internet predators to talk to your children for free. The service will use the same privacy settings that the MySpace account uses, meaning the user has a choice to talk to the person or not.

They have that choice with regular MySpace chat too. If you read the news, you would know that the privacy choice does not work very well because kids constantly are groomed through the MySpace service.

Hopefully we won’t see a news story posted here involving MySpaceIM but I have a really bad feeling about this one.

Sex chats with kids continue amid stings - In spite of massive publicity on television and in newspapers and magazines about these kinds of stings, there is no shortage of people, usually men, who fall for them. Broughton and Detective Pat Colasuonno have arrested dozens of men from all walks of life and every corner of the country, including a military man, business owners, college students and retirees.

But the real key to fighting Internet predators is to eliminate the victims, investigators say. That involves persuading parents to stop using computers as baby sitters and begin establishing rules and limits for their use, Broughton said.

"There's other things in life, and it doesn't need to be behind a keyboard, staring at a screen for many hours of the day," Broughton said. "Go outside. Read a book. Ride a bike."

Parents need to monitor online activity and keep computers in public areas where they can lean over from time to time and see what is happening on the screen.

It means carefully screening a child's MySpace profile and making sure it can be accessed only by invitation. Some parents insist on having veto power over "friends" on their child's MySpace account and many use computer programs to block certain content on computers available to their children, investigators said.
