I agree with Miss Troeth (hi!) with respect to the sentiment that they didn’t give you much time.

Here’s to hoping that someone, somehow will be given a solid platform from which the less clueful parents (and does that mean most of them?) can be given trustworthy guidance on how to best approach the facts of their kids’ net use.

(I was amused by the way the presenter deflated when you explained that the grownups-in-kids-clothing class of online predators gets disproportionate attention. Teehee.)

I think parents need to talk with their kids about the dangers of being online. I agree that sneaking onto these social networking sites is not the best way to monitor children. There are plenty of sites out there that can help to give parents better ideas on keeping their kids safer. I know NetSmartz411.org is a great educational site for people looking for ways to keep their kids safer while online. Parents can email any questions they have to this site, and real people respond with personalized answers. The most important part is that parents stay actively involved in the kid’s lives. If they have a strong relationship, is much easier to discuss important issues such as internet safety.</p> Great interview Stephanie!
