Social Networking Sites

These days, many kids draw little distinction between real life and online life. The number of networking sites that are geared toward younger users is growing. Sites such as Disney's Club Penguin, WebKinz and Whyville feature more restricted and supervised networking as opposed to other adult networking sites such as YouTube, MySpace, Flickr, Twitter, FaceBook, and others.
There are many dangers for younger kids on adult social websites. Online predators, scammers, cyberbullying, cyber stalking, are all potential dangers that children may have to deal with when using social networking websites.
