Cyber defense

"Parents are the first line of defense against Internet predators and other online dangers".

"Many adults are under the false impression that MySpace's technology blocks people from viewing the pages of children under 16 without permission."

(Teenagers) often include pertinent information such as ZIP codes that predators can use, and that young teenagers often lie about their age to get on the site.

In Weston, police arrested an adult MySpace user who went to a teenage girl's house, where she and friends were having a slumber party.

"They think they are completely anonymous, but they are not."
