Does anybody have a myspace website? I have been able to get in touch with old High school friends since I got my about a month ago. Also have gotten to be better friends with guys on other message boards that I frequent. Here is mine

Seriously, if any of you are parents you NEED NEED NEED to find out if your kid has a myspace account. If they do you need to closely monitor it's use. That website is filthy with pedophiles. There have been numerous instances of news shows like 20/20 setting up stings with the cops and getting litterly dozens of sickos within hours. Last month, a kid down the street from me was assaulted as a result of a pedophile tracking him down via a myspace account.
Seriously, your kids should not be allowed un-monitored internet access. Take the computers out of their bedrooms and put them in the living room where you can keep an eye on things. There are also numerous programs that you can put on their computers that will log every website visited and every keystroke including within IM chat programs. GET ONE

True, that's proof that parent's don't pay enough attention to their kids. They have to pay attention to what their kids are doing so they don't have that happen to them. I have an account. I've found a bunch of friends there. It's a great way to keep in touch as well. And no, not in a Michael Jackson kind of way.

I'm a teacher in a high school. We actually banned usage of myspace on campus and had several informational packets and meetings to parents about myspace and other sites like it. Lots of sick people in the world, and the last thing I want to hear is someone getting hurt in anyway.

Myspace is just a way for guys (old or young) to pick up chicks.
It is just like the IPOD fad, as it will wear away eventually....

If Myspace is just a way for guys to pick up chicks then why will it die. Men have been picking up chicks forever. This is just a newer tool for some.

Why does it seem that those who oppose are upset at the Myspace site itself? Its not Myspace's fault "people" like that use the site. Those "people" do not speak for the rest of us that use the site to keep in touch with friends, old and new. Like this site, it is also a good place to meet others interested in what we are, ie cars, wrenching, kniting, curling, what have you. I'm sure Andrew, Matt and myself are fine examples of excelent Myspace'ers.

I do have a gripe with myspace itself and the people that run it. They are typical of the "software culture" attitude that says that all that is on the net is fee and open and should never be subject to scrutiny, censorship or control.
Sorry, when pedophiles are using something as a tool to ply their sick craft it needs to be clamped down on. The folks at myspace have done little or nothing to help curtail that. They IMO are in some part culpable.

100% agree, also they have been way too slow to respond to all the incidents: too little, too late. It helps to be a parent to understand, once you do understand, opinions will surely change.

hahah interesting seeing what the "older" people think versus us younger folk.
As for the pedophelia some parents REALLY need to watch their kids, its a very common thing to get an add from a person who is "18" with virtually nude pics yet looks 14 and in their profile say they are a freshman in highschool, and how much they love sex. If you doubt me take five minutes to register and search, its BAD!
Oh and something you guys hadn't mentioned but there was a boy at my highschool who was a crossdresser, now goes by the name amelia on myspace and looks like a freakin bombshell.... funny seeing all the jock guys from other towns leaving him comments saying how hot "she" is....

MySpace does do a lot of filtering to try and deny underage people, not just girls, from using the site improperly. Read up on it. As a parent I fear when my girls are old enough to be using the net. I will probably have every parental control known to man and I will still be looking over their shoulder. It is not a lot different than a kid getting a fake ID and going to a club. This is just one freakin huge club by comparison. I looked around myspace once, and was not impressed. Especially when you can look for married women wanting sexual relationships. Seriously, that is a criteria you can select and get results for. I was disturbed so I left. Never been back. Myu company noe blocks MySpace. No wonder. But like many other things, MySpace does have a good side, and it far outnumbers the bad. This is exactly what AOL went through 10 years ago. They were responsible for kids wanting to be grown up and have sex. Sometimes they got caught up w/ older men.
Much of this is about how we as parnets are involved w/ our kids. Do we go home at night, turn on the babysitter (TV) and do what we want in another room? How much do we monitor the TV? Likewise the internet is the same way. Because whether it is AOL, MySpace or a web search pulls a porno site, what is placed in front of our children is what they will emulate. Time to start turning off the computers and TVs and reading to our chilren! Build the bond that will hopefully last into the troubling adolescent years.

I couldn't have said it better myself. It seems as though alot of parents are quick to blame others, whether it is people, or products, instead of their own parenting skills.

Certainly the ultimate responsibility falls on parents, but more than a small measure of culpability must be laid on myspace for providing a tool for these sickos that by design allows such activity and for their steadfast resistance to making changes that would increase safety.

Never understood that concept.
If a kid is living under YOUR roof, being supported by YOUR income then anything and everything that happens under that roof, be it in their room, on the computer, on the phone etc ABSOLUTELY is YOUR business. Especially if they are minors.

MySpace started as a way for bands to communicate with each other. It is essentially a music site and was never intended to become the hangout website that it is today. If you peruse the site, you will find that there is a sizeable community of bands (mostly from smaller labels) that have pages set up there. They exchange music business chatter, want ads for musicians, and musicians looking for work who also provide samples of their work for other bands to hear.
Kinda weird how it spun into what it is today. I'm sure the founding members there are not happy about it.

Especially if they are minors.I understand and I agree. But there is no quicker way to an argument than going into "their space" and invading "their privacy". It is a delicate line to walk as parents, especially when the minors are teenagers and beginning to distinguish themselves apart from their parents and gain even a perceived independence. I have a lot of experience working with older boys and believe me, we really do lose touch with what it was like at their age.
