MySpace one of the first in social networks, which currently has well over 100 million users, most of those users teens and young adults.

MySpace has revolutionized the internet in how we now communicate with friends and family, no more picking up the phone or sending an email, but rather posting a bulletin, even finding new friends to chat with, not to mention job searching.

MySpace has spent millions of dollars to ensure children are safe from online predators, but do they do enough? I say no.

Recently I was traveling through the United States on business, traveling alone I often log into social network sites such as MySpace and Facebook to communicate with friends even searching for new people that are locals to the areas where I am visiting.

In one specific location I noticed many profiles for who stated they were 19, in some cases as old as 27, upon looking at their profile their photos reveille a very different story. That 18, 19 and 27 year old turns out to be in fact 11, and in one case the child in question could not have been no older than 9, with their profile picture showing them unwrapping a toy during Christmas morning, this indeed was no 20 year old. This was no isolated issue, as I continued searching, I continued to come across more and more users just like this, by no means the age they said they were and in most cases younger than 13.

I decided to write this iReport after the email responses I receive from MySpace. After I would come across these profiles, I decided I should contact MySpace and report these children. It is after all MySpace policy that any person must be at least 13 years old to have a profile on the site, in addition any child may not say they are older that what they are.

After contacting MySpace with regard to the children I have been coming across this is their response, “We reviewed the profile in question, and were unable to find any definitive proof that the user in question is underage.”

For ever profile I reported to MySpace, I received the same response, wondering myself, did I make a mistake, and judge them as younger than they were. To confirm I sent a profile in question to my mother and a couple friends, their response, clearly a child and MySpace is wrong.

For the problems that MySpace has faced over the years in criticism in protecting children from predators and other people whom wish to do children harm, in uncovering that kids go online to sites such as MySpace and pose themselves and an adult in order to get a profile, in violation of social network’s policies, I wonder what is the point of the policies?

As MySpace has clearly refused to enforce its policies, we should all be aware, Kids are kids and will do things like this, after all when you were 16, you wished you were older right? MySpace has a policy for things like this, to ensure children are kept safe, or so we thought.

For the parents out there take notice, MySpace may be a place for friends, but protecting your child is not something they will do.
