Internet-predator concerns overblown, researchers say

Nation & World | Internet-predator concerns overblown, researchers say | Seattle Times Newspaper

This is from the Seattle Times this morning. It piqued my interest, in part because I always had this gut sense that Date-Line NBC was getting it all wrong. Well, maybe not all, but enough that it was more of a distraction to the true issues on online safety.

To me, the area that we need to focus on is the aspect of cyber-bullying. That potentially does so much more harm to children than the fear of Internet predators. Something to keep in mind as we work with teachers and students everyday.
