The best defense against these people is to educate parents and children of the dangers that come along with the Internet and by limiting access to certain sites during the school day.

As the father of six children, I know very well the challenges technology poses to our families.

Make no mistake; child predation on the Internet is a growing problem.

Predators will look for any way to talk to children online whether through sites like Myspace, instant messaging, or even online games.

As the father of six children, I want to know that when my wife or I drop our kids off at school they will be safe from predators, crime and violence.
