You can’t protect your children from sexual preds they work at their school, at your church, etc. It’s an issue for parents to deal with but it’s not something they have 100% control over.

I believe if you keep your dirty clothes from being washed, they all stay dirty! These preditors, you’ll never actually get rid of them! It just won’t happen. I don’t think any site can actually do this although someone … somewhere has to pretend.
Actually the parents are the real problem. Sometimes they trust their children too much. Today is not the day to let them get into any site. As a matter of fact, any day. IF parents do not teach their child good from bad, these preditors will live on forever and ever. Fact … not fiction! Wake up parents. Guide your children into the light, not in the shallows of it!

You know there are different types of sex ofenders. Not a lot have anything to do with childern, and some of the people are simpley not repersented by good concel and thn k it’s better to take a plea ,not knowing fully that they will be stuck with a sex ofender record the rest of their life. Then there has always been people around praying on childern and the most you’ll never know of, THIS WAS LONG BEFORE MYSPACE COME ALONG.

Almost 3 quarters of a million known sex offenders, that's a lot of users to avoid online. The fact they are on there is already done, all they can do at this point is their best to remove/report them. I check here to keep up to date on security issues.

If you read the NYT article on this, it states that the 90,000 were removed over a period of 2 years.

And you see Dateline stories about whatever Dateline decides to air a story about. The problem could be worse on Facebook, you can’t make an accurate assumption about something like that from what you’ve personally noticed on television.

Anyone over 18 with a MySpace profile needs their head examined anyway.

All felons are welcome at MyFelon.com. Even the good people of society(those not yet caught) are welcome.

Isn’t our new half-white President the son of a sex offender? Technically BO is the product of statutory rape and therefore the direct descendant of a sex offender.
