Kids volunteer too much information online

Unlike my book, Witch Hunt son the Internet, this article is not fiction!

"... kids volunteer far too much information. Two-thirds provide their age and at least their first name; 60 percent offer their location and contact information. One in five offer up their full name. .... Parents have no clue this is going on.... You think your kid is safe because they are in your house in their own bedroom. Who can hurt them when you are guarding the front door? But (the Internet) is a bigger opening than the front door...."

For more, have a look at "Kids, blogs and too much information" on http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7668788/ ... scary stuff!
