I think Myspace and the many others that have built a business and made a lot of money based around the teen market should try to do more policing and checking , They have been and are making the money from this market and should put some of that back into more safeguards

The problem is if parents block Myspace , Facebook and others new ones will appear similar to the MP3 download sites

Parents also need to take some responsibility to try and educate children as to the dangers, most parents drum into kids from a very young age about not taking sweets from strangers so maybe parents need to be educated and better informed by the media about the dangers of social networking so they can educate their children

I know my kids do use Myspace and am sure that not everything they say would meet with my approval but I have to hope I have spent enough time educating and talking to them that it will be OK
