Assessing the risks of MySpace

Listen in RealAudio

News stories about the dangers of the popular social networking site MySpace often focus on sexual predators. The risks are real.
This week, police accused three people - an 18 year old man and 17 and 15 year old boys - of raping a 14-year-old girl they contacted on MySpace.

The co-author of a new book on MySpace says the most extreme risks are also the least likely to happen. Larry Magid's book is MySpace Unravelled: A Parent's Guide to Teen Social Networking.
