This girl's parents should have been doing their parental duties. The girl met this man because she WANTED to, and all the panic buttons in the world will not change that. The parents dropped the ball and failed to find out what their daughter was doing.]]>Mar 19th 2010 3:33PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 22nd 2010 9:27AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/ FaceBook Should NOT install a panic button. What they have set up right now is just fine. IT IS THE PARENTS RESPONSIBILITY TO WATCH AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR CHILDREN!!! My son has a facebook account and I know EVERYTHING he does on it. Our computer is in the kitchen area and he is not allowed on without my permission (he doesn't even know his password).
IT'S CALLED PARENTING FOLKS!!]]>Mar 22nd 2010 9:34AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 22nd 2010 12:09PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 22nd 2010 1:24PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 21st 2010 7:16PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 22nd 2010 11:12AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 22nd 2010 7:44AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 29th 2010 11:05AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 22nd 2010 7:53AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 22nd 2010 11:17AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/We'll Never know will we?? How would you feel if this were your daughter?
To have an option to use something as sensable as a panic button, and to better safe than sorry is always better than what happened! ]]>Mar 22nd 2010 8:39AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 22nd 2010 8:55AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/
there is another aspect to this...also imagine someone pushing the panic button on your husband or your son...for no real reason other than they wanted to...I wonder how it would be for you and your family in that case with them forever stained in the stigma of that

probably better to educate about the world, than legislate against it]]>Mar 22nd 2010 12:44PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 22nd 2010 8:42AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 22nd 2010 8:44AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 22nd 2010 8:53AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/
It isn't practical to say "parents watch your kids" I watch mine like a hawk, but I cannot do it 24/7. If you do then you are smothering them, you have to raise them to make good, reasonable decisions. My Children know what a "red flag " is. As a survivor of molestation, I have had many talks to my children of being careful because even those who are suppose to love you the most- can be the ones who hurt you the most.]]>Mar 22nd 2010 9:03AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/Mar 22nd 2010 10:10AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/http://www.switched.com/2010/03/19/facebook-wont-install-panic-button-to-report-child-predators/In order to become a member of a social network you should submit a valid ID # proving that you are a legal adult. If you are under 18, then your parents would have to submit their DL #, and e-sign a contract stating that they are solely responsible for monitering their children's activity. The network could even set up parental control options where the parent must confirm any new freinds on their childs profile and have access to veiw the profile. Think about it, the lazy parent's wouldn't go throught the trouble, and while the unfortunate children whose parents cannot fully participate may be upset, they will be a little bit safer in this god for saken world.
I know it sounds like alot of trouble for something we have had such easy access to. But something HAS to change. It is obviously not as innocent as it was originally intended to be. We should be willing to do anything to protect the children that don't have parents that can/ or will.]]>Mar 22nd 2010 11:10AM
