Keeping them Safe

by Kaden

There are many ways for parents to feel safe while their kids are on myspace. One, for example is to limit the amount of information their kid’s can give.

Also, the parents can do a screening of who talks to their kids. Third is to get a list of sexual predators, so that you can identify one.

Sorry, no name! Your kids can give false information so that the people don’t have anything. The kids don’t have to give out any info at all: they don’t have to give a real name, they don’t have to tell where they go to school, and they don’t have to divulge personal information. Then again, many people don’t give where they go to school. You can give false names, or other false info.

Hmm…this person looks okay. Parents, you can do screenings of who your kids meet on myspace. By getting a understanding of who they are, your children can be safe. If the people they are talking to are local, then invite them over for dinner to make sure they pass the test.

Oh no, it’s him! By having a list of registered sexual predators then parents can help their sons or daughters avoid them. When you know, you can prevent. A lot of predators have tendencies to do something that can give themselves away, use those flaws to your advantage.

Now of course, you can never be completely safe on the internet, but you can put the odds in your favor with all of the special procedures I mentioned. By doing those steps, parents can help to stomp out predators and create a healthy, care-free environment.
