The photos that your kids and teenagers post on social networking sites such as Myspace, which boasts a subscribership of 72 million, may seem innocent to them, but in terms of teenage internet safety or myspace safety, these supposed innocent pictures, in addition to those shots which are provacative, are making considerable money to kiddie porn sellers. Additionally, unless you're a buyer of these images, you won't even know that your child's photo is out there. Teens don't realize the risks they're taking with their safety and that of their family.
