Is myspace.com harmful for children? What are the dangers and how can we warn parents to protect their kids?

I’m writing an article in my local communicty newspaper about this topic. It seems that many parents, especially first generation, have no idea what the internet or myspace.com is capable of. There is no real age restriction, and I’ve heard of little girls age 10 years old on the site meeting strangers and sharing their pics all over the world. 1 in 5 children is sexually solicited on the web. I am worried, and I want REAL opinions on what to put in my article. Thanks all!

There really is no way to stop it unless the parents monitors every single thing the child does on the Internet. Either don’t allow small kids on, or hope they’re mature and sensible enough to not do anything so stupid. Then again, my Mum met up with some guy 100 miles away and divorced my Dad and moved in with him…. hahaha. (I’m 16).
