It's always been known that social networking sites are very capable of holding sex offenders. Myspace and Facebook especially, because they are the most widely known. It's a step in the right direction for those to networks to want to make things safer for the children; it's good to know they care. This article makes me want to scream out to all those who have social networking profiles and yell "BEWARE!" I wonder if in the future Myspace and Facebook will really become safer. I believe that sex offenders that have been convicted will get caught and forced off line, but what about the sex offenders that haven't been caught? What about the convicted that are using fake names? What happens then? There are loopholes around most things, and I'm sure online sexual predators are aware of what they are.

Cooper: 2,100 sex offenders in N.C. found on MySpace. Post 10

Myspace found out that their site was holding 2,100 registered sex offenders. Word has gotten around that Facebook is being faced with the same problem. Myspace and Facebook have done everything they can to remove the registered sex offenders from their network. It has become illegal in North Carolina for a convicted sex offender to take part in social networking. Myspace and Facebook are working to improve their network, so they can increase the safety of the children using it. Even thought Myspace and Facebook are trying to do things to insure the kids' safety, they still have a long way to go until it is completely safe, if it ever can be completely safe.
