Myspace.com…One Stop Shopping For Predators?
Nancy “more Botox please” Pelosi is whining about President Bush spying on “citizens” [ or as I like to call them...terrorists]…..while right in her own back yard young girls are disappearing at an alarming rate.
These girls have several things in common. They are young, attractive, very naïve, and members of myspace.com.
And, though this is just a guess on my part, I would say their parents are fairly computer illiterate. Otherwise they wouldn’t allow their daughters to be posting pictures of themselves ....often wearing very little.....with their complete bios for complete strangers to peruse.
It’s literally one stop shopping for sexual predators.
Myspace.com is a site that allows young girls to post [often] revealing pictures of themselves with all their personal information…and no one at this company thought this was a bad idea?
Why?
It gets “better”…..
Anyone can pose as anyone and email these girls after “signing up” to join. And as those of us who are adults know….pedophiles…errr…… members can then tell these young and naïve girls anything they want.
According to the site: “MySpace is an online community that lets you meet your friends' friends.”
Your friend’s friends?
Are they serious?
Online? And this accomplishes what? What exactly is a friend’s friend?
They even have a hook… “See who knows who, or how you are connected. Find out if you really are six people away from Kevin Bacon.….”
Six people away from Kevin bacon?
***** Is this the modern cyber-version of "will you help me find my missing puppy?"****
I wonder if the actor Kevin Bacon knows that his name is being used to entice young people to join this site?
So, basically, the site lures young people in and then the predators can go on a shopping spree in the comfort of their home, trailer, or jail cell.
Now…that’s reality for you.
And, it seems, what they have to say often works.
Just this morning in my local paper, The Times-Standard, there was a story of yet another young attractive girl who disappeared after meeting someone from myspace.com
Her name is Kehaulani Omakalapua Roberts. Please read the full story here….maybe you have seen her or can help in some way.
*****Unfortunately, the newspaper seems to feel that a story and picture of hippies jumping in water [okay...in a way that is news...they are actually bathing...] is more important than a missing girl so if you want to see her picture please click on the main newsapaper link and click on today's front page and look to the far right.*****
And I have to disclose that I personally think this site should be shut down, and yes, I have a personal grudge against them.
My niece disappeared last year after joining Myspace.com.
So, parents, wake up. This is not a game. It is not harmless, and it certainly isn't something you want your daughters involved with.
And ,Nancy dear, here's a quarter...buy a clue for God's sake. Stop worrying about imagined wrongs and start worrying about our quickly disappearing daughters.
After all...aren't you always saying that you are for women's rights?
******Please read this********

I am in agreement that we need more parenting and less policing. Our children are "our responsibility". People need to stop passing the buck. The reason society is filled with degenerates is due to a lack of parenting, and that is going to continue if we do not step up to the plate and monitor our children to the full extent. Let's face it, why are these girls on the computer looking for love (from strangers)? Maybe because they don't get it at home. Yes, its difficult...we live in a hectic world, andmost of us have to work and multitask (well, most of us). But who ever said parenting is easy? If we leave this problem in the hands of the goverment we are feeding right into the problem that created the malady...passing the buck of parenting.

The situation with your niece is unfortunate. I hope all is well. But before you go blaming a website for abducted girls maybe you should also be appalled at the nerve of shopping malls that allow scantily clad young girls to wander unsupervised. Maybe you should have security in the public parks not allow young girls to play in the sun. Maybe parents should keep their daughters locked up in the house so that people can't see them. Again with the single issue, narrow view. Why is it when there is a problem in the social system people always look at a person or an institution to blame for the maladies? You made mention many times about how parents are not policing their kids' activities on the internet. But it's not their parents who could be doing more to keep their kids safe, WHICH IS THEIR GODDAMN JOB! Noooo... It's not a parenting issue. We have to blame sites like Myspace and movies and music and video games and peer pressure for the evils that are brought down on our kids. Watch tv with them. Surf the internet with them. Go places with them. See movies with them. Geee...spending time with the kids. What a novel concept. And maybe when you CAN trust them to make the proper decisions, once you have instilled in them the sense of what is right, wrong, acceptable, and dangerous, you can allow them their freedom to take the risks you know they are ready to face. But why? It's easier to blame myspace for a lack of foresight, intelligence, intuition or street smarts in a girl who actually goes out to meet a stranger they only know online. Someone who could have been lying about their identity and luring them to their doom. Not a parenting problem. Not an education problem. Not a social problem. Evil Myspace.

well, callum....you are one very smart 12 year old!
good for you...you have already figured out what most people never will....that if something seems risky, stupid and dangerous is usually is.[they don't have those "darwin awards" for nothing you know!]
and welcome to the site!

I am a 12 year old boy from New Zealand and I do think myspace is for dumbasses. It is most definedetly a lure for petefiles.

why thank you robbed! alas...it was easy to be WAY ahead of them for two reasons. first of all personal experience I.E. my niece....secondly because the MSM are just so damn stupid.
so i really can't take credit for it.

today's Drudge Report carries an article on this very subject. Christmasghost is WAY ahead of MSM !! thank you again for writing re this serious and widespread problem.

angel...would it actually even be censorship? we don't let kids drink before they are 21...perhaps risking their lives by being in a picture gallery for pedophiles should fall in the same age to risk legal category.

Good Lord ..thats a horror..why in Gods name ANY of these types of sites are allowed is beyond me!..what are people so afraid of if we for once do the right thing and CENSOR these websites?!

robbed........we at least know that she is alive thanks to a couple of phone calls. but where she has been and still is remains a mystery.in that respect we are so much more fortunate than others in this situation.
why a company that is linked [perhaps innocently] to so many missing girls has not come under more scrutiny is beyond me.
take a look at the site yourself and tell me what you think. i found it appalling..........

I am sorry to know your niece has never been found. and now so many others.
thank you for writing about this problem. I agree that few parents are likely aware of the risks their daughters are taking posting their personal information for anyone to read.
once again you have done us all a service to have written about a serious problem that is not being dealt with sufficiently by politicians or the media. thank you.
and continued hopes for your niece to be found healthy.
