thanks, my kids wont be playing online games where I can ptrevent it,..And I will set an example. But Facebook, myspace google+ kidsforums....msn, skype...will be restricted / forbidden.
In the Netherlands, the highest goverment official in the palace of Justice, and in charge of Justice is a well known pedophile leading a very large network of important people. including the late husband of the Queen...They are untouchable and any mainstream media trying to report it, is being dealth with as they see fit. It means that pedophiles represent a strong force, and it explain why so many get away with it...This is just an example of 1 country...This network must be international...its extremely sad.... almost impossible to fight...
we can't live our lives in complete paranoia about technology or video games. Discernment and guidance is a key I believe. I can't go along with extremism on either side. Unless you are one of the zealous right that claims technology to be the "great beast" in biblical terminology we must learn to use it in a good way.
We may not be able to stop predators as they are sick individuals but we can be aware of them. Technology has given them advantages I agree.

I advocate educating our kids to learn how to Master Technology and avoid being a Slave to Technology.
