MySpace clamping down on sexual predators online

Clark has been vicious in the past towards MySpace and Facebook for their roles in helping child predators find their prey online. Both social-networking sites historically felt the responsibility was not theirs. But now MySpace has agreed to work with the states to protect the safety and welfare of kids in cyberspace. Clark is thrilled; for them to score cash and not have any sense of responsibility was unconscionable. The ultimate responsibility, however, still lies with you as a parent. You've got to know what your minors are up to online. Clark actually advises you to have access to your kids' account and spy on them. If you think that's too extreme, Clark argues that children don't have rights until they're adults and pay their own bills. If they live in your house, they must abide by your rules. Clark was once monitoring his daughter's Facebook account and saw pictures of her underage friends having beer at a party. He used that as way to open up a discussion and learn about some parts of his daughter's life that he didn't previously know about. If you just put on the blinders, you may not like what you'll later learn about your kids.

This week's poll
Many recent college grads don't know how to dress professionally for work. Have you ever thought someone in your workplace was dressed inappropriately?
Yes. I've seen co-workers in outfits that show way too much skin.
No. I work in a very relaxed environment and anything goes.
Maybe. Some clothing I've seen on the job is questionable.
