Browsing Myspace isn't toxic, it's one of the best things a parent can do to make sure their kids are not getting duped by strangers. We have had many discussions in our family about how much information is too much to put on an internet profile, and still my younger ones have been duped. It's hard for them to tell when a person is truly a friend of a friend, or someone who happened to 'friend' a friend on Myspace and is just gathering information to sound as if they are real life friends. Not more than 7 miles from our house a 16 year old fell for it and ended up with a 42 yr old guy trying to get into his house! As for my high school son, we have had an occasion to talk about how any girl who feels the need to post a profile picture of herself (15 yrs old) in her panties and a tight, short, t-shirt has deep issues and it is best to stay far away from her.
