I missed it, but it's on the NBC website with alot of references and blogs to access for more info. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9927253/
It points out many important facts and I plan to have my teen read it in its entirety tonight. If she would at least make a pact with me to agree to "The Golden Rule of Cyberspace" which states you never do anything online you wouldn't do in real life, I would be alot more lenient on her internet use. We've taught kids the technology yet in so many cases we have not taught ourselves and that is where they can get out there and not even know the potential danger they're in and we don't have a clue. Even log onto their account and keep an eye on their use we don't everything they coudl be up to, or with whom. Maybe a scared straight approach is the way to go. Twice now I caught her with a Mindspace account and while not so much she, but friends I know all too well, breaking that Golden Rule of Cyberspace with posts that embarrassed me, I shudder to think what trash is out there lurking. The rule now in our house will be, if even your friends don't adhere to "The Rule" you delete your account. End of story.
