[...] to Trench at MyCrimeSpace for letting me know about these. Please take a few minutes and share some of these with your tweens [...]
Wow, that was awesome. Great work from ncmec! Thanks for posting this.
I am glad you posted these. I have a tween daughter. She is not allowed to have a MySpace page but some of her classmates have one. It is unbelievable some of the things we see her classmates posting on MySpace. They don’t understand that EVERYONE sees it, not just their “friends”.
I think these NCMEC videos are great ways to show kids the gravity of what they post online. I think it will also show parents as well! I know NCMEC and the Qwest Foundation also launched a website called NetSmartz411.org, dedicated to educating parents about ways to keep their kids safer online. If parents have questions, they can email them to this site and people will respond with specific answers. Hopefully if more people know about the dangers out on the internet, kids will be safer in the future!
