CBS News Catches On -- "My Space" Kills!

20 Nov 2007

November 20, 2007 (LPAC)--CBS News with Katie Couric has focused a three-part series on The Lives of Teens. In the second part of the series, aired this evening, the program focused on a Baltimore girl who had become addicted to My Space, placed sexually provocative pictures of herself on her site, and, at one point, disappeared for two days. She returned. The family ended up banning her from using the computer.

The show noted the popularity of My Space among teenagers, but also noted that among the perhaps tens of thousands of young people who use My Space to "socialize," there are also 3,200 known sexual predators who regularly use the site.

The third and final part of the series will be aired tomorrow evening on the 6:30 P.M. CBS News.
