Thanks for the article. I hadn't read this one yet. It is scary to
think that kids are so vulnerable...and it's true that people reveal a
surprising amount of information about themselves in online dating
sites or social networking sites like My Space. I saw a news segment
on tv recently about how some dating sites are conducting background
checks when you sign up to weed out "predators." Did anyone else see
that?

I saw one website where you can report any suspect activity targeting
kids online -- its http://www.cybertipline.com That's the only
resource I've found so far that offers a place to report things
online. Good to know there are some resources out there. This is a
difficult thing for parents to monitor as well.
