How they should keep my space safe for children. They should ban people from my space that talk about sexual activities or any type of words that can offend anybody. Another thing that is safe for people to go to myspace is that they should use fire block and people that don’t have permission to go to myspace will get banned from it for ever. The parents can block the inappropriate things like myspace. There is ways to prevent the myspace by there parents knowing the people there talking to. They can make the myspace page to be private and only accept people that want to be friends and be accepted to there page. Predators in Myspace can be varying badly because people could come to your house and kill you.
One way that it is inappropriate to talk to a person is if you threaten to kill him/her or to kill his or her family. Never allow a child to reveal his or her name, phone number, or MySpace. Always make a profile in any website with a made up name but never use your name. It’s always important to hide your identity from people you don’t know because they may hack in to your computer and find where you live and they may threaten your family or friends by coming to your house and take them hostage or just kill them.
There are tips I’m going to show you that can make myspace safe for kids. Here is a website that gives you helpful tips to keep you safe from myspace. Click this website MySpace tips. What is on this website is what you should not have done and what you should do when setting up an account. Like if you never reveal your name, and it tells you why not. Never reveal your birth, address, IM page, or your Myspace page unless you know him or she and you know that he/she won’t do anything bad to offend you or threaten you or your family. Parents can do something about the kids in Myspace and who there talking to.
In conclusion this tells parents how to keep Myspace safe from kids.

Wow! This is fairly scary stuff. Do you know what the statistics are for this sort of thing actually happening?
"It’s always important to hide your identity from people you don’t know because they may hack in to your computer and find where you live and they may threaten your family or friends by coming to your house and take them hostage or just kill them."
I agree that it is important for students to not give away too much information about themselves. My students only publish their first name if we do anything on the public web. But do you really think that random predators off the net are taking people hostage and killing them? If you have some data to back this up I'd be interested in hearing about it otherwise I think your comments are more likely to frighten parents into banning the computer completely.
The hyperlink you include to advice about avoiding sexual predators has a post from a parent whose daughter went to the movies to meet up with someone she had met on myspace. Do you think this makes myspace dangerous? She was allowed to go to the movies on her own? Couldn't she just as easily have met some random person in the street? In person? How is myspace adding to the danger here?
Great thought provoking post. Well done.
