Parents, teens advised to guard privacy on social Web sites.
Byline: Jennifer B. McKim
Don't include personal information. Don't upload photos of yourself. Don't talk to strangers.
These are some of the recommendations provided by the FBI to children using MySpace.com and other social networking sites.
As quickly as youths are taking to the Internet, so are child predators heading there to find their next victim, the FBI says.
Ten million youths use the Internet every day, and one in five have been solicited or approached by a child predator, the FBI says. Federal arrests for online sexual exploitation of children doubled from 863 to 1,649 between 2003 and 2005, the bureau says.
"The Internet (is) the single most important tool of child predators," said Peter Brust, FBI special agent in charge of the Los Angeles field office cyber-division. "The computer is making it a lot easier for people to contact kids."
