In view of this last episode of the lass going missing in Christchurch, we have been looking at our grandkids bebo/myspace/facebook etc. Every one of them has too much information on their sites, and every one of their friends has too much on theres also. We have discussed it with the kids, and then told them they must delete their sites, or remove the information. They have chosen to delete them.
Im finding it difficult to comprehand how parents allow their kids to have these pages now. So much doubt surrounds the users of these sites, the dangers around them stands out so much.
We tell the kids not to talk to strangers etc, to protect themselves. We think thats what they are doing, but they are NOT.
Social networking?? Bullshit, this is for grooming young kids, I'd be appalled that parents are continuing to allow their kids to use these sites.
