I could not agree with you more. Parents always go on power trips and never bother to explain to their children, how or why something needs to be done. Don't they see that taking the time to help their kids understand an issue TEACHES them to be rational and have some common sense. The more you dont' talk to them, the less they're going to think critically when they grow older, and the less they're going to try to UNDERSTAND things in the future. They'll be like robots, just doing what they're told and not knowing how to think for themselves.
Apparently, some of the conversations between Foley and the child were also through email and the kid was smart enough to forward them onto somebody else because he was getting scared. Wouldnt you want your children to react that way too and make smart decisions? Keep playing the powertrip parents and you'll get the kid who'll come across a Foley and not know what to do, or will just keep taking the harrassment.
Foley on the other hand....he definitely needs some better morals and some better security
Well said....
That database that AOL put up cost the company what little credibility it had left. We all know that AOL's going down the drain but that had to be the last straw. I mean, do you know how many people out there have searched their name just to see what they can find about themselves on the internet? That's all it takes for that person to become a victim of ID theft!
AOL is already the breeding ground for spammers, scammers and hackers http://www.essentialsecurity.com/Documents/article 22.htm...and now they have just welcomed more of them in with open arms.
