2 Items: Another Sicko Busted & A Helpful Website!
Item #1: Another sicko is busted for having sex with a kid he met on MySpace. 
This jerkface scumbag, Stephen Letavec, is a volunteer firefighter from Elrama PA. He met a 14-year old girl on MySpace and traveled to her home in Oxford CT, THREE times to have sex with her. As a result he has been sentenced to 10 years in prison, and must serve 10 years of supervised release, after he gets out.
What a sh*tbag!
But the remarkable thing: why did the girl allow it to happen TWO times before telling anyone?! In fact, the story doesn’t even say whether or not she told anyone… Maybe her parents caught her or someone found out.
Takeaway from this story: there are pedophiles out there that will travel for the chance to have sex with your kids — and some of your kids will let it happen. 
Knowledge is power. Know what your kids are doing online!
Read the story and watch a short video clip on Hartford’s NBC station.

Item #2: A very cool and helpful website.
In my search for helpful answers and tool found online, I cam across this very nicely laid out website: chatdanger.com. It is a resource for parents and families about the potential dangers on interactive online services, such as chat rooms, IMs, online games, email and even mobile phones/devices!
You can get tips, read true stories and even give advice yourself!
I give it a thumbs up and am putting it in the blogroll — check them out!
