Keeping Kids Safe on Social Sites

Cnet News has a post up on how to keep kids safe on the growing number of social media sites, like MySpace. I can't agree more with most of their assessment, as they go through comparing the safety to other objects that require knowledge to understand and use.

In most cases, kids are perfectly safe maintaining a profile on MySpace or another social network. Parents shouldn't worry so much as take the time to talk with kids about how they're using MySpace and other social networks, he said. Ideally, parents should review kids' profiles for inappropriate information or material.
"It's like riding a bike or using a kitchen knife: When used properly, it's terrific; but if used carelessly or maliciously, there could be problems," Magid said.

It is a great post for those worried about what their children may be doing online. Check out the full post at Cnet News.
