Fact: there are about 750,000 online predators and sex offenders. Fact: child pornography sites have grown to about 4 million, with images of children as young as 2. So how far will this keep going? Will the government ever intervene?
According to John Sancin, President of CyberPatrol, many parents hardly ever think that their kids will get caught in the hands of a sex offender. "These people are professionals and know not only what to say to your kids, but how to say and spark their interest and gain their trust." With child pronographic images making between 3 to 20 billion dollars annually, I think more more parents should start educating their kids about the dangers of the Internet.
So will the government ever step in and take action? Many people seem to think not soon enough...I think its time SOMETHING should be done. For example, I think kids under 16 shouldnt be allowed to get a Myspace or Facebook account, or therefore use any social networking site until they're of age.
What do you guys think???
