Darn other C-Span callers taking too much time...

I was going to talk about "Children and the Internet".

Scary what some of them were talking about; installing computer chips, posting child porn users on billboards (I know they're reprehensible, but isn't plastering someone's face like that illegal?), banning chat and MySpace, etc. etc.

I was going to say (if everyone else hadn't yammered so long :P) that yes, it is a problem, but it could be severely hampered by simply using common sense:

-Every so often, ask them if anything they think suspicious has going on.

-Ask them to come tell you if they talk sexually explicitly.

-Most important; give out no personal information at all; at most, a first name and a state. Never give out a last name, an address, a city, etc.

I've been using the internet since I was 11; so far, no one's gotten me yet. :)
