Interesting read

I saw this article on CNET.com about how the image we all have of the shady guy behind the computer stalking your children and lying about his age may not be all that correct. I found this really interesting because I was pretty sure it was a shady guy behind the computer lying about his age and what not.

I've said before to people that these sexual predators will never really go away, and untill they do something illegal, it is hard to really get them off the streets/net. This suggests that it is really the parents/family that need to hammer home the point not to talk ot strangers on the net or the street. From a cursory read of this it seems the curiosity about sex may be getting the kids on the net talking to strangers. Maybe if that curiosity was satiated by rational, mature parents instead of a puritanical health class in grade school, kids wouldn't seek out the cousel of shady dudes on their computers.

Just a thought, interesting stuff though - this internet thing just keeps on changing.
