This website is from a highschool (available for parents) and deals with on line safety tips and helps to educate the parents on popular mediums like MySpace and FaceBook. I know my parents of my students would definitely benefit from this information.There are also some pretty interesting statistics on this site as well:
60% of teens have gotten an email from a total stranger! Wow! The more shocking stat is that 63% of those teens have actually responded to those messages. Their curiosity, at that age with this technology, I feel is at an all-time. I can understand the appeal to respond to someone who you don't know, when you have the computer to hide behind. As appealing as it may be, the dangers are lurking for these teens!
