Police in
Albuquerque, New Mexico are warning parents to keep tabs on their kids activity on MySpace when a man was arrested for statutory rape after meeting a 15-year-old girl
at the social networking site. While no other details are available, alocal television station
reported that the man gave police two different birth dates that make him either 18 or 24 years old.
Meanwhile another man was arrested
on the East Coast for trying to lure a 13-year-old girl into sex using the same site. Apparently his profile on
MySpace made him appear to be much younger.How sad is it that these stories don't surprise me? We've posted several stories about Internet safety for kids, potential dangers and tidbits of information about how kids are actually using the Web. The Albuquerque attorney general's office recommends that parents consider purchasing software that allows them to monitor their kid's online use. That's fine when your children are at home, but what about at school? or at a friend's house?

Blind Parents' Kids Are More Developed in Certain Areas
A study about the children of blind people has shown that they may have an adaptive advantage over children whose parents can see. Researchers from La Trobe University in Melbourne and the University of London studied five children who had primary caregivers that were blind. When tested, the children frequently scored better on memory and attention tasks compared to children with parents who could see.

chris said...Communityx.net is way better then myspace bcause they offer 2 sections. 18 and younger and 18 and older. Adults and teens shouldn't be interacting in a dating type of site in my opinion. Comx currently has the 18 and older section up and will be adding the 18 and under area here soon. I for one don't like myspace because there are too many kids lieing about their age. Also their site is down more then it's up, that's why I moved to Communityx.net it's just a better site.
