invasion of children's privacy?

It needs to be done to a certain degree, you need to be careful though to ensure you do not hinder their sense of independence and worth as they grow older. You don't want to go so far as making them seem untrustworthy or irresponsible.

Tell your parents, report them to myspace and/or the police.\n\nDo not go to that web stie.  arrange to meet your friends elsewhere.\n\nYou can always create a private chatroom\n\nDO NOT SEND THEM ANYTHING!\n\nIgnore their threats.  They are simply words written on a computer screen.  \n\nFind out everything you need to know about computer security.  EVEN IF they are for real, they will have a difficult job entering your computer if you have kept it up to date.

Everything on the internet can be easily sneaked into your child's email.  I suggest that they have none.

Personally, I think that message boards and chatrooms, should not be available to children under 18. That may sound harsh but here are my reasons, there is NO WAY for it to be monitored, there are WAY too many sick perverts out there that use it for their perverted reasons, you hear it time and time again, parents either do want or dont have the time to monitor to whom they are chatting or corresponding with, nor can they monitor what their child posts on an online message board or what they answer from said site. I personally dont think things like yahoo messenger, AIM, or MSN messenger are appropriate for them, for same reasons above. I just feel and it has been proven that it is just a huge pandora's box, it is used to undermine parents to a child who is experiencing problems in their household, it is used to lure children away with false promises, and basically it is one big LIE. If there was a way to MONITOR it, that was able to eliminate the majority of above stated reasons, then I would be a little more ok with it possibly. Till then, it is not that we have to fear so much the people our children come in contact with on a daily basis anymore, we have to fear the people in this little world called CYBERSPACE.\n\nThank you

There are different ways to handle it. if you know a specific site, then you can add it as restricted site in the internet options of your browser. But it is not at all effective because someone can get to site which you don'y know and get from search engines.\n\nThe best solution is to get parental control software. there are many of them if you search in www.download.com.\n\nThe best one and probably the free one, it "Naomi internet filter". it is an excellent software to protect your kids against online unsafe content.\nGet it from: http://www.radiance.m6.net/\nHope it helps.\n\nJust as side note, not only software can  protect your kids but you also need to be watchful about internet habit. Also warn them about bad things in the internet.

I watched some of this this last week and when they did it a while back too. Its interesting, I'm happy that they are showing perverts that their actions will not go unnoticed. Also it is the parents job to monitor what the children are doing on the Internet to prevent this from happening.

I would agree on the 1st answer...\n\nIt is called privacy on their part... Why? They want a security from people who would do pranks and other stuffs...

By actually spending time with your children when they are online.  Otherwise don't have a computer in your house if you don't want to be a responsible parent.  It's not everyone elses job to raise your children.\n\nEDIT:  The only assurance from a legal/political perspective is by not going into chat rooms and not showing your online status to anyone other than family/friends.  Do not give out personal information.  Do not meet anyone in person from a chat room.  These all seem obvious but if they do not, consider not using a chat service until you feel mature and able enough to know inappropriate online behaviour.

Um, your question seems a bit incomplete. \n\nAre you refering to nude pictures? Well, that's obvious, lecivious conduct.\n\nHow about taking pictures of other children against the parents permission, that is exploitation, and against the law.\n\nYour question leaves quite a bit to be decifered.

Only if they want every child molester that sees them to get in touch. Why would you expose a kid to something like that?

no, any more than they should have the right to listen in on my phone conversations, sift through my trash, or stand outside my window at night with a cup up against my wall.\n\nit's privacy, and it's reasonable to expect it while you're in the comfort of your own home.  any invasions of my privacy are not explained to my satisfaction by someone's excuse that they are doing it to 'protect me'.  i feel i have a right to be free from 'unreasonable searches and seizures', and monitoring my online communication IS unreasonable, in my book.

Absoultely nothing. If parents are afraid their children are being exposed to something questionable, then the parents should make a point of supervising their children whenever possible. It might not be a perfect plan, but it's better than censorship.
