Idaho, MySpace agree on predator protections

2008-01-14T17:34:00.000-08:00

By KBCI Staff & Associated Press
BOISE - Idaho is pressuring a major social networking site to improve its stance on child predators.

Under mounting pressure from law enforcement and parents, MySpace and 49 states (not including Texas) agreed on Monday to take steps to protect youngsters from online sexual predators and bullies, including searching for ways to better verify users' ages. Idaho parents are well aware of the site's potential risk.

"I tell (my daughter) that if she gets a pop up, if someone tries to instant message her, just to ignore it," said Heather Amador, a local mother of a 12-year-old daughter." "Even though I know it's a great social networking application that she could have, I feel like I would want more control over it."

Under mounting pressure from law enforcement and parents, MySpace agreed Monday to take steps to protect youngsters from online sexual predators and bullies, including searching for ways to better verify users' ages.

The hugely popular online hangout will create a task force of industry professionals to watch over its operations, and other social-networking sites will be invited to participate.

The Idaho Attorney General's Office says there are thousands of registered sex offenders on Myspace. But a new nationwide agreement with the site could help change that. Under the plan, Myspace will develop better software to verify the age and identity of its users. It will also allow parents to submit their kids' email addresses so they can't join. The site also claims it will make it harder for adults to contact children.

"Most people when they think of MySpace, they think it's a site that's visited mostly by youth, actually, over half of all the MySpace users are over 35 years old," said Brett DeLange, deputy attorney general.

Tina Pollardy, another local mother, says her children are older but their early Myspacing days were filled with words of caution.

"We told them not to give out personal information, don't even give out the city where you live, because somebody could find you easily," Pollardy said.

The attorney general believes Monday's new MySpace agreement is a step in the right direction.

"It happens everywhere, we're not immune from these sorts of predators coming to our state, seeking out our youth and hurting them," DeLange said.

A 15-year-old girl from Texas was allegedly lured to a meeting, drugged and assaulted in 2006 by an adult MySpace user. In another case, a man got 14 years in prison for using MySpace to set up a sexual encounter with an 11-year-old Connecticut girl. A 16-year-old New York girl ran away to Puerto Rico with a man she met on MySpace.

And a 13-year-old girl in Missouri hanged herself in 2006 after receiving mean messages on MySpace from a person she thought was another teen, but it later turned out that the messages were all a hoax.

Texas' attorney general said the state did not join the agreement because it cannot support the effort unless it takes action to verify people's ages.

MySpace, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., has more than 200 million registered users worldwide, and Facebook claims more than 61 million active users.

About the Twin Falls Chamber

2007-07-21T08:42:00.000-07:00

The Twin Falls Area Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit business organization providing members a strong business voice, vision and focused leadership to enhance the economic vitality and quality of life in our community.
Twin Falls began as an agricultural center, springing up from the high desert of Southern Idaho. The town served the pioneering farmers who homesteaded the irrigated lands of the fertile Snake River Plain.
Twin Falls is still at the heart of one of the world’s most productive farming regions. But it’s also developing into a small urban center – the very kind of place many people seek as a refuge from the faster pace and challenges of larger metropolitan areas.
Centrally located in South Central Idaho, Twin Falls is the perfect home-base for your travels around the region.
Parks, golf courses, and docks follow the majestic Snake River as it winds through the region – the steep canyon walls framing the setting for fishing, boating, rafting, and waterskiing. Small-town America lives on here with friendly faces meeting you at every turn. Discover antique stores, museums, fairs, and festivals. Urban delights amuse you. Enjoy gallery openings, wine tastings, concert halls, and jazz outdoors. Or shop-til-you-drop in retail centers and quaint stores.
No lines. No waiting. Just plain fun!
