As the father of six children, I know very well the challenges technology poses to our families.
The best defense against these people is to educate parents and children of the dangers that come along with the Internet and by limiting access to certain sites during the school day.
Our teachers are responsible for our children's welfare for the six or eight hours they are at school and we need to know without question that their safety will be paramount on the minds of teachers, faculty and volunteers.
Parents have the ability to screen their children's Internet access at home.
Internet safety begins at home and that is why my legislation would require the Federal Trade Commission to design and publish a unique website to serve as a clearinghouse and resource for parents, teachers and children for information on the dangers of surfing the Internet.
Make no mistake; child predation on the Internet is a growing problem.
As the father of six children, I want to know that when my wife or I drop our kids off at school they will be safe from predators, crime and violence.
Frequently, children under the age of 14 - the cut off age for a profile on Myspace - simply lie about their age and fake being 16, 18 or even older.
Predators will look for any way to talk to children online whether through sites like Myspace, instant messaging, or even online games.

I think it's the weight of the swelling inventories. And the geopolitical stuff has cooled off a little bit, but it's just in the background.
It is not surprising that prices are retreating.
Who knows what's going to go on there if the Arabs feel pressed?
Looking at the continuation charts necessarily produces a conclusion that heating oil and crude face strong support points that will require some new item of fundamental import to enable a breakdown. If prices were under such monumental pressure then the November lows would certainly have been broken.
