Default 29,000 sex offenders using social networking site MySpace

MORE than 29,000 registered United States sex offenders have been found to have profiles on popular social networking website My-Space, it emerged last night.

The figure is more than four times that cited by the firm two months ago, law- enforcement officials said.

Roy Cooper, the attorney-general in North Carolina, was among several legal figures in the US who demanded the website provide data on how many registered sex offenders were using its service, along with information about where they live.

MySpace began sharing the information in May after states filed legal requests. At the time, MySpace said it had used a database it helped create to remove the profiles of about 7,000 sex offenders, out of a total of about 180 million profiles on the site.

Mr Cooper is pushing for legislation that would require children to receive parental permission before creating social networking profiles and require websites to verify parents' identities.

Hmm...I'm on Myspace too. But I'm more frequent on Friendster than anything else.

Children creating social networking profiles, talking about where they go to school, where they like to hangout and which area do they live. Making friends with strangers...

If a sex offender takes a liking to one of them, especially if they post 'beautiful' pictures of themselves...

Do you know they have a TV show in the united states to trap unsuspecting sex offenders who prey on online teenagers. This tv show actually has a team of people posing as underaged teenagers who want to chat and make friends. the sex offenders are then slowly enticed to come out and meet these children and are caught red handed when they show up for a date. Ha HA is this entrappment or what?

This is for thephus. Not to worry a sex offender has been caught at least once. That is the only way they can you classify you is if you get slammed. Otherwise your MySpace account is safe as long as you don't want to be classified. HE he

In our place here, a policewoman was busted for being a sex offender at Friendster.

Kids should be warned about this, maybe by their parents or teachers.
