keeping girls safe.....other stuff

young girls in nz are placing themselves in considerable danger by using sites like "my space" and "bebo.com" to hook up with friends and gain themselves a social life. unfortunately, as most of us know, they seem unable to think through the possible consequences when posting your cell number, address, school and photo on the web. several girls in nz have been approached by the press and informed of the risks. they are using usernames like "dirtykitty" to entice contact or "be cool." when informed of their daughter's internet activities and usernames, parents were shocked. so far they [the girls] are saying that not too many "randoms" are contacting them. i can imagine that, that will change. recently, invercargill man Dale Gregory Barnett, 44 and an upper hutt man, were convicted for sex crimes against young girls. both had used the internet to facilitate their perversions. i do have one important question. what are your kids up to on the internet?
important news. the all blacks smashed australia by 20 points in the rugby international tonight. woohoo!
