Myspace drama

It's a generation issue. These kids' parents probably aren't aware of the threat the internet poses to them. It'll probably just go away with the internet becoming more of an established medium. People who have grown up with the internet themselves will teach their children how to use it properly and go by the rules. Not giving out personal information to random people is one such rule.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's what I was aiming at. I think the internet is just too complex for most parents to teach their children how to use it. Plus, it involves actually spending time with their children.

Instead of telling the kids that giving out personal information is bad, the detective should have told the parents how the internet works.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No, the problem is that parents don't even know or aren't even interested in what their kids are doing anymore.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
