Websites Not Intended For Kids Use

As harsh as this article may appear, there are websites out there that really shouldn’t be used by people under the age of 18. Such websites include the erotic adult entertainment for sure, (which I’d like to see outlawed myself). Then there are the websites that probably started out with good intent, but became a social threat as they grew.

Some of these websites are used in all the wrong ways. For example, You Tube is a great place to look up music video’s; but on the other hand it also contains other questionable content that slips through to all viewers. In order for You Tube to know about things that slip by them, the matters have to be reported so they can fix or delete content as needed. Up until the time questionable content is reported by a decent person, the content is slipping through to the eyes of anyone watching it. This isn’t You Tubes fault. It’s the fault of the nasty people posting such content deceptively.

MySpace is another site to worry about if you have kids on the internet. This one you really have to worry about because unlike You Tube which is basically a viewing site, MySpace gives the ability to communicate back and fourth.

There are a lot of people out there that aren’t who they say they are. They use the internet to play their games. Usually to target the innocent and or the unknowledgeable and defenseless. These are internet predators that range anywhere from being just a common liar, to internet hackers & bullies, to internet frauds, thieves, con artists & crooks, all the way to sexual predators.

Regardless of the predators actions, … if it’s a bully, someone trying to blackball someone else, thieves & frauds, a hacker or the sexual predator trying to get his or her kicks. They are all predators! Internet predators to be exact.

You may be asking are all of them criminals? The answer is YES! Absolutely. Some get caught, others haven’t been caught yet, … but yes, they are all criminal predators.

Another website, which is one of many more, is Facebook. Teenagers and children should be detoured from accessing this site. A lot of people use face book. This site has been on & in the news so many times for its users being illusive and causing trouble. People saying they are someone they are not. Here in Wisconsin a man was arrested for using face book to pretend he was a woman trying to get high school boys.

When these websites were created, the intentions were innocent. It’s not the website services themselves that are bad, it’s some of the people that use these websites that make them bad.

The same goes for websites that are out there that their only purpose is to slander, liable and black ball other people and places. All of this is done against others and posted without proof of what’s being said, without a judge, without a jury and usually behind someone’s back. It is for these reasons that these types of sites are monitored by all levels of law enforcement. People who post on these sites don’t realize how IP addresses work. Even if you log into such a site and make entries under a fake name, your IP address tells the truth about who you are and what your address is.

Someone may say “ya, you can hide your IP address”. Yes, you can hide it, from regular people. You can’t hide it from cops and Federal agents. Regardless of what you may think or believe, there’s no such thing as hiding your IP entirely. There never will be. Not even with a proxy.

I was raised in Wisconsin as a hard working individual. As a teenager I worked on a farm until I became a adult. I have never worked less than two jobs at a time until I turned 44.

I don’t, … (and never have) smoke, drink, drug or gamble. In 2005 I successfully gave up caffeine entirely and haven’t had any since.

My hobbies are automobiles, electronics, driving and photography.

I have many friends, and I am well known in the tri-village area I live in.

My adult careers that stayed with me long term are ‘commercial driver’ and ‘loss prevention agent’.
