I'm sure there is a lot more that can be done, but at least they are doing something.

That's Government for you took them TWO years to figure out that they need to take actions against Sexual Predators. It is a start! now lets see the follow up actions and if they are effective in helping to identify and catch the Predators.

Is there a way for parents to know how to report know predators that are on My Space? I have not been able to find any resources. Maybe My Space is not doing enough to supervise it's sight still.

Myspace is not the only place predators lurk.....many years ago WAY before myspace, I got an online predator arrested. All it took was saving the transcripts from the convo and calling the police.
I'm not in to myspace but I'm sure there is a way to report abusers.

no, not getting personal or stalking, just looking around for your local news and stuff in case there might be some interesting news to talk about from your area, and just my usual playing on the puter, nothing more.:)

[Bubba Watcher]

Strange thing just happened, found a Topix for your local news!

[Bubba Watcher]

"Two Remus residents busted for kiddie porn"

[DeniseInMi]

Bubba try www.wzzm13.com that's one of my local news channels, and it had Topix.
It's a Grand Rapids station and I'm about an north west of there.

[DeniseInMi]

** HAS Topix... not had.

[Bubba Watcher]

WZZM 13 is where the"Two Remus...." story came from listed on Topix. Sorry if I sent up red flags from my questions, was wanting to figure out if I was looking in the right area for local news around you without getting too specific as to location. Talk at you later, bed time is fast closeing in,:).

[DeniseInMi]

Bubba hun, you sent up NO red flags....honest! That's why I gave you my local tv station.:-) I was going to give you my email......but wasn't sure if you wanted to go that route.
It's all good, hun. I'm flattered you were checking out 'my' local news as well.

[Bubba Watcher]

With first coffee in hand and eye's almost open :), I don't think a forum would be a good place to be posting an e-mail unless you want to be deluged by strange, weird and sometimes evil people from all aroung the globe AND on occasion, normal people!:). On a side note: I was looking for the correct spelling of 'deluged' and wound up just about LMAO! http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php... .I am very glad I was not sipping my coffee at that time!
